Abstract
This study enrolled 60 patients aged 28 to 76 years who were oral malignancy undergoing radical surgery for more than 3 hours to assess the disinfection effect of povidone-iodine in oral and maxillofacial surgery which is a clean-contaminated wound. The authors collected and compared the sample from oral mucosa and counted the colony-forming units before disinfection, after disinfection for 10 minutes, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours. The results showed that the oral bacterial colony-forming units significantly decreased after disinfecting with povidone-iodine and the effect existed for 2 hours and the colony-forming units of 3 hours after disinfection showed statistically significant increase. In oral and maxillofacial surgery, povidone-iodine can effectively disinfect the mouth and maintain a certain period of time. Therefore, to reduce the number of oral mucosa microorganisms, it is recommended to disinfect the oral cavity again after 3 hours.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery serves as a forum of communication for all those involved in craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery. Coverage ranges from practical aspects of craniofacial surgery to the basic science that underlies surgical practice. The journal publishes original articles, scientific reviews, editorials and invited commentary, abstracts and selected articles from international journals, and occasional international bibliographies in craniofacial surgery.
