The periodontal pack is often used to cover the surgical site after surgery, even when associated with local applications of preparations containing chlorexidine, in order to obtain an antiseptic protection. However many people question whether the drug effectively succeeds in penetrating the pack, or if the presence of the pack itself doesn't obstruct the action of the medication. The aim of this work is to evaluate the efficiency of the clorexidine in the surgical area with and without a periodontal pack. In a first stage, a case was chosen and contemporary operated on in two different but anatomically similar sites at the same time. One of the two sites was covered with a chlorexidine gel for the following week, whilst the other was left without medication. After seven days the stitches removed from the two different sites were placed in culture mediums to number and classify the bacterial strains present. In the second stage of the experiment, another eight patients were operated on in the same way, and the two sites covered with periodontal packs. In one of the two sites a layer of chlorexidine gel was positioned under the pack, and the chlorexidine above and on the sides of the pack was continually renewed throughout the week following the operation. The other site was not treated. The results obtained show that the pack partially reduces the action of the drug medication, probably because an insufficient amount reaches the site. The activity and efficiency of chlorexidine against the strains of bacteria found in vivo were tested in vitro. The chlorexidine destroyed all of them.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
