Dr Chua, are you usually cleaning socket with povidone? Are you applying antibiotic ointments after surgery or while dressing? We use to remove dressing only at the third day post op, mostly because of fear of bleeding. Are you experiencing bleedings during dressing on the first day? Thanks
I don't clean with povidone but applied chloramphenicol ointment on gauge used to dress the wound. The dressing was removed the next day but new gauge was appplied to the socket daily for about 5 days.
