Effectiveness of warm saline mouth bath in preventing alveolar osteitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2021, Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :All statistical analyses were done with Revman version 5.4 (Review Manager Version 5.4, The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020). Eight randomized studies (Sweet and Macynski 1985; Berwick and Lessin 1990; Fotos et al., 1992; Delilbasi et al., 2002; Osunde et al. 2014, 2017; Osunde and Bassey 2015; Naik et al., 2017) met all inclusion criteria and were selected after the inclusion of all search keywords, removal of duplicate studies, and additional hand searching of references (Fig. I). Full-text copies of these articles were reviewed for qualitative analysis.
Alveolar Iodine Tampon Packing Reduces Postoperative Morbidity After Third Molar Surgery
2019, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryDoes Chlorhexidine Prevent Alveolar Osteitis After Third Molar Extractions? Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
2017, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :For data collection, the authors considered each extraction to correspond to 1 patient in a control or treatment group. The RCT conducted by Berwick and Lessin21 included 2 treatment groups with chlorhexidine and 1 control group. In this meta-analysis, each treatment group was included as an independent study using the same control group provided by the researchers for each case.
Effectiveness of 0.2% chlorhexidine gel and a eugenol-based paste on postoperative alveolar osteitis in patients having third molars extracted: A randomised controlled clinical trial
2015, British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryComparative study of the effect of warm saline mouth rinse on complications after dental extractions
2014, International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :A null hypothesis that warm saline mouth rinse is not beneficial in preventing alveolar osteitis, acute inflamed socket, and acute infected socket was formulated. Alveolar osteitis is a very common post-extraction complication, its incidence following routine extraction of any teeth being around 1–70%, and following surgical extraction of impacted third molars, between 20% and 30%.2,7–9 The overall prevalence of 10% observed in this study is consistent with published reports, but was found to occur predominantly in the group not instructed to rinse with warm saline; alveolar osteitis was recorded less in the warm saline groups.
