Abstract:
Maxillofacial gunshot wounds are usually contaminated with a large number of pathogenic microorganisms which are difficult to be cleared out thoroughly by the routine surgical debridement alone. In 12 dogs, we observed the effect of application of l% CIC in debridement on the infected gunshot wounds of the mandible contaminated with numerous different bacteria 72 h after gunshot. After the debridement of the routine method, bacterial cultures were positive in 10 of 12 dogs while all cultures were negative for the wounds treated with 1% CIC.We suggest that l% CIC, as a wound irrigating agent, is suitable for early debridement of the oral and maxillofacial injuries,especially for that of gunshot wounds.
