A member asked:

Can chlorehexidine interfere with the bonding/paste ingredients in bone graft? ie: any concern about overuse around sutures covering lots of graft?

Specializes in Surgery - Oral & Maxillofacial

No. No.: Chlorhexidine rinse is routinely used in intraoral bone grafting. Extensive sutures often used.

Quite the opposite: For a long time 1% chlorhexidine proved highly effective in bone graft techniques.

Dr Gallia agreed
