hello,

I have gone through your query.

As per you said that there is improvement in lesion after incision and drainage, the healthy tissue would grow up as the infection subsided and the exposed bone will be filled with new bony tissue covered with healthy soft tissues,so not to worry about that.

the use of Peridex helps in Keeping your mouth clean by rinsing mouth 3-4 times a day for 30 seconds. so it don't interfere with wound healing instead it would keep your mouth clean, as its antibacterial properties kills many pathologic bacterias in oral cavity.

Hope you are satisfied with the explanation, kindly give your review. Take Care.

Regards.

Hiii.
Welcome to HCM
regarding your query wether or not Peridex .12% Will interfere with healing...Absolutely not....Reason being peridex. 12% is chlorhexidine gluconate rinse which is normally used after routine oral surgical procedures..
It is very effective in plaque inhibition, also improves healing by decreasing the amount of bacteria in the mouth, helping to reduce swelling and redness of the gums and bleeding.
Regarding the exposure of your mandibular bone, I advise you to consult your periodontist for the same...Physical examination will give a more confirmed prognosis of your treatment
hope you are satisfied by the ans...get well soon...thank you
