UNDERNUTRITION
The study subjects were patients in the Department of Dental and Oral Surgery of Saga University Hospital (Saga, Japan) who required maxillomandibular fixation either after orthognathic surgery or for the treatment of mandibular fracture between October 2019 and December 2022.

Recent years have seen rising interest in oral health management. Although the rate of mouthwash use is not necessarily higher in Japan than in other countries, it has tended to increase in recent years. Initially, most people thought that mouthwash was used to eliminate bad breath, and it was often lumped together wit...
PMC10728525
CONCLUSIONS
The present results suggest that the continued perioperative use of a mouthwash containing active ingredients may suppress the deterioration of the oral environment to some extent, even in the specific environment resulting from maxillomandibular fixation. This mouthwash may therefore provide a tool for perioperative o...

Management of the oral environment in patients with diseases of oral and maxillofacial region is very important to reduce not only the aggravation of dental caries and periodontal disease, but also local wound infections and aspiration pneumonia.

Principal findings
CPC/GK2/TXA‐based mouthwash reduced the ammonia level related to oral cleanliness in saliva and the PCR index after fixation release.
PMC10728525
Practical implications
The continued use of CPC/GK2/TXA‐based mouthwash may suppress the deterioration of the oral environment, even in the specific environment resulting from maxillomandibular fixation. This mouthwash may be useful in perioperative oral hygiene management.
