Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to assess the impact of postoperative chlorhexidine use on pain management following mandibular third molar removal

In this prospective, randomized controlled trial,130 patients who underwent mandibular third molar surgical removal were divided into two groups: one group used chlorhexidine for postoperative rinsing and the other did not rinse. Pain levels, measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), were recorded daily for the first seven days post-surgery. Paired-samples t-tests were utilized for data analysis.
