Comparison of the effects of ice saline and kangfuxin mouthwash on improving oral infection following buccal mucosa resection
摘要
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of ice saline and Kangfuxin mouthwash in reducing oral infection incidence following buccal mucosa resection in patients.
MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent buccal mucosa resection at a tertiary hospital’s Urology Department from January 2020 to December 2024. Post-surgery, patients used ice saline and Kangfuxin mouthwash for six mouthwashes before and after meals, with 10 ml per use, gargling for 3 min each time. The incidence of oral infection was compared between the two groups using t-tests, chi-square tests, and non-parametric tests.
ResultsA total of 228 patients were included, with an overall oral infection incidence of 9.6%. After balancing the baseline characteristics and nutritional indicators between the groups, a statistically significant difference was observed in infection incidence and pain scores on the third postoperative day (p < 0.05).
ConclusionAddressing oral infection in patients following buccal mucosa resection is crucial; postoperative use of Kangfuxin mouthwash shows potential in reducing oral infection incidence.
