Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate whether preprocedural mouth rinse has any effect on bacterial load in aerosols generated during ultrasonic scaling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 80 subjects with chronic periodontitis were selected and randomly grouped into four comprising twenty in each. The groups were based on the use of preprocedural mouth rinse: no rinse group (control) (A), and test groups with preprocedural mouth rinse with water (B), 0.2% Chlorhexidine gluconate (C), and herbal mouthwash (D). The aerosol produced during ultrasonic scaling was collected on blood agar plates positioned at the chest area of patients, operators, and assistants. Aerosol collected in the operatory before the procedure was considered as baseline. Colonies on the blood agar plates were counted after incubating at 37\u00b0C for 24 h. Pairwise comparisons involving positions and mouth rinses on microbial colonies were conducted using independent sample\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">t<\/jats:italic>\n                      -test and Tukey's test for\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">post hoc<\/jats:italic>\n                      analysis considering 0.05 as the significance level.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Microbial colonies were significantly reduced with chlorhexidine gluconate compared to that of others (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001), followed by herbal mouthwash and water.
