Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / February 2007Discoloration. When routine 6 month cleanings bring teeth back to a lighter shade will the implant tooth will be darker?...
Will the implant tooth will be darker?... over the years, routine 6 month cleanings bring teeth back to a lighter shade after oral rinse use apparently. Discoloration It appears the Peridex Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12% oral rinse used 3 times a day after implant surgery can discolor teeth enough so that matching the shade of the implant tooth could result the implant tooth being a shade that matches the oral rinsed discolored teeth. > Will the implant tooth will be darker?... over the years, > routine 6 month cleanings bring teeth back to a lighter [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > implant tooth could result the implant tooth being a shade > that matches the oral rinsed discolored teeth. Chlorhexidene staining can be very severe, and certainly obvious to any conscious dentist. As such, it will be obvious that the stained teeth need to be polished prior to any shade match (unless prior work has been done and the real shade of the teeth are recorded in the patient's chart). Steve So even with the discoloration the protocol is for patients to use the chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% after implant surgery?... then clean the discoloration? In the future what better protocol could be developed that would not discolor teeth after implant surgery with the oral rinse? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Chlorhexidene staining can be very severe, and certainly obvious to any conscious dentist.

I wouldn't assume that all surgeons prescribe CHG rinses perioperatively (though I wouldn't be surprised that many do). In any case, if preventing posoperative infection is a priority, I would guess that a little extrinsic staining that can be easily polished off would be a small price to pay. Certainly it's possible that superior intraoral antiseptics will be developed that don't have this problem, but I doubt it's a top priority to most of the pharmaceutical companies.
