Current status of periodontal dressings.

Sachs HA, Farnoush A, Checchi L, Joseph CE.

A comprehensive review of periodontal dressings is presented. The rationale for the application of dressings, their advantages and disadvantages are described. Tissue reactions to dressings and the therapeutic and adverse effects of antimicrobial agents used in dressings are discussed. The present status and value of a surgical dressing is critically assessed in view of recent studies which indicate that the routine use of dressings in postsurgical care may be either unnecessary or undesirable.
