in this study , effectiveness of supragingival irrigators containing chlorhexidine is compared with routine oral health measures in patients with blood dyscrasia whom can not use effective oral health measures(e.g brushing ) due to their systemic condition(e,g,neutropenia ,thrombocytopenia,..)

Detailed description

Since some patients with hematologic malignancies cannot brush effectively and are at increased risk of bleeding and infection due to severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia we want to access whether a none invasive method ( water jet systems containing chlorhexidine ) Can help this patients to get better oral health indexes in comparison with routine oral health measures in these type of patients.

Conditions

• Severe Neutropenia
• Thrombocytopenia
• Chemotherapy
• Blood Dyscrasia Patients

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	supragingival irrigators containing chlorhexidine	patients received irrigation by oxyjet supra gingival irrigators containing chlorhexidine for at least 3 minutes for all dentulous regions of jaws which was performed by researchers once daily.
