Clinical Trial: Triclosan Toothpaste and Third Molar Surgery
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Effect of a Triclosan Containing Dentifrice on Oral Bacteria and Postoperative Complications Following Third Molar Surgery
Brief Summary: Triclosan containing dentifrices are effective in the prevention of inflammatory complications following third molar surgery through reducing preoperative oral bacteria load.
Detailed Summary: This study may provide evidence on the effect of triclosan containing dentifrice on oral bacteria and oral inflammation prior to third molar surgery, and on the incidence of inflammatory complications after the surgery. If proven effective, dentifrice containing triclosan may be recommended prior to tooth extractions and replace antibiotics and other antimicrobial products as a prophylactic procedure before oral surgery procedures.
