title: [The use of Betadine antiseptic in the treatment of oral surgical, parodontological and oral mucosal diseases].
abstract: The Betadine is an antiseptic PVP (polyvinil prrolidon)-iodine containing, water soluble solution, which has been in circulation in Hungary for years. Until now Betadine was not applied in the oral cavity for bacterial and fungal infections, although its effectiveness is unquery. The PVP-iodine is water solubilized that's why it does not sting the healthy or ill oral mucosa and has not side effects as discoloration of the teeth and tongue and trouble in the sensation of taste as does chlorhexidine. The only contraindication is iodine allergy. In the present study: in periodontal cases (abscesses, postoperative prevention) and in oral medicine cases alone or in combination with specific treatment schedule was Betadine applied. PVP-iodine as oral rinse was applied in 25 cases. According to our experience Betadine was excellent against bacterial and fungal infections in the oral cavity, which prevent or treat bacterial infections after surgical interventions. By this way the bacterial superinfections of exulcerant oral mucosal diseases avoidable.
