Since adecrease in temperature or high humidity may delay the drying pro-cess, the transfer of chlorhexidine would be affected by these factors.We believe that the addition of environmental factors and patientcharacteristics to similar simulation-based or clinical studies wouldgain more detailed information about this important subjecenLetter46info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess2-s2.0-85106302431WOS:0006527521000233373691410.1016/j.ijoa.2021.10296710.1016/j.ijoa.2021.102967Q2Q2
