Comparison of Chlorhexidine, Chlorhexidine with anti-discoloration system, and Polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine on early wound healing after dental implant placement: A randomized clinical trial
While CHX, CHX ADS, and PVP-Iodine were equally effective for early peri-implant wound healing, CHX ADS showed better patient acceptance with fewer side effects (taste alteration, tooth discoloration), which is likely to improve compliance, reflecting enhanced tolerability rather than superior healing efficacy. This finding may guide clinicians in selecting antiseptic protocols that optimize both clinical outcomes and patient comfort and patient compliance.
