Background To assess the effect of concomitant subgingival rinsing with 10% PVP‐iodine during subgingival instrumentation on the prevalence and magnitude of bacteraemia of oral origin. Materials and Methods Subgingival instrumentation was performed with water or PVP‐iodine rinse in patients with per...
