The Role of Chlorhexidine in Minimizing the Viral Load Among COVID-19 Patients: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Chlorhexidine digluconate, povidone iodine for COVID-19. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Existing evidence confirmed that saliva and oral cavity to be a reservoir for SARS-CoV-2. In dental clinic aerosol-producing-procedures pose a significant risk for transmission of the infection . It is very important to minimize the risk of transmission in dental office reducing the load of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva if possible, in suspect or conformed cases. Preprocedural mouth rises have been used widely to minimize the number of oral microorganisms. Multiple studies confirmed the efficacy of those mouth rinses in reducing the possibility of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection .
