Efficacy of Chlorhexidine Gel in Single Crown Implant Rehabilitation

Abstract

Chlorhexidine gel is a commonly utilized topical antiseptic within the field of dentistry, renowned for its efficacy in managing the proliferation of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the vicinity of dental treatment sites. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine gel in the context of single-crown implant rehabilitation. The procedure of doing a literature search was performed on multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar, in order to investigate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine gel in the context of single crown implant recovery. The application of chlorhexidine gel has been found to be effective in mitigating the potential danger of infection in the vicinity of the implant, thereby minimizing any potential disruptions to the healing process and overall stability of the implant. This holds particular significance throughout the phase of implantation commencement and the subsequent time of initial recovery. The utilization of chlorhexidine gel has been shown to be effective in the prevention of peri-implantitis through its ability to regulate bacterial proliferation in the vicinity of the implant. It is imperative to mitigate inflammation and tissue damage in order to safeguard the sustained efficacy of the implant. In conclusion, the utilization of chlorhexidine gel is effective in managing bacterial plaque on the external surface of natural teeth as well as in the vicinity of dental implants.
