Clinical Trial Summary

Background: One of the most frequent surgical operations in dentistry is the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which is accompanied by a sequelae of swelling, trismus, and pain. Various techniques have been employed to either prevent or reduce these postoperative outcomes. To the best of our knowledge, few clinical researchers have investigated the effect of local application of Alvogyl paste and Chlorhexidine gel, in the management of pain, facial swelling, and trismus resulting from lower third molar surgical extraction. Aim of the study: The study was meant to compare the effects of 0.2% chlorhexidine gel and Alvogyl paste on the reduction of the inflammatory reaction caused by the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which includes pain, facial swelling, and trismus.


Description:

Background: One of the most frequent surgical operations in dentistry is the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which is accompanied by a sequelae of swelling, trismus, and pain. Various techniques have been employed to either prevent or reduce these postoperative outcomes. Aim of the study: The study was meant to compare the effects of 0.2% chlorhexidine gel and Alvogyl paste on the reduction of the inflammatory reaction caused by the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which includes pain, facial swelling, and trismus. Materials and Methods: This randomized control study was conducted from February 2022 to September 2022 on (51) patients, (23) male and (28) female, aged (18-39) years, who presented with impacted mandibular third molar. The participants were randomly allocated into three groups, 17 patients received Alvogyl paste (G1), 17 patients received 0.2% Chlorhexidine gel (Periokin) (G2), and 17 patients received nothing upon surgery (G3). The mouth opening and facial measurements were assessed preoperatively as a baseline reference and on the 2nd and 7th postoperative days. pain was assessed daily using a numerical rating scale (NRS) from the first day to the seventh day following surgery. Results: Regarding the mouth opening, there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups in the degree of trismus on the second and seventh postoperative days (P ≥ 0.05). In regards to postoperative facial edema and pain, there was a statistically significant difference among all groups (P < 0.05), however, there was no statistically significant difference between the two study groups. Conclusion: This study showed that Alvogyl paste and 0.2% Chlorhexidine bioadhesive gel significantly reduce postoperative pain and facial swelling with no significant effect on trismus following impacted mandibular third molar surgical extraction.

Alvogyl
In the first study group, (0.2gm) of Alvogyl paste (Septodont Inc., France), was inserted inside the alveolus, filling it entirely
Chlorhexidine Gluconate
in the second group (1ml) of Periokin (Kin Inc., Spain), containing 0.2% Chlorhexidine bioadhesive gel was injected to fill the entire socket

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary postoperative trismus A traditional Vernia caliper is used to measure the distance between the incisal edges of the upper and lower central incisors preoperativly and in the second and seventh postoperative day
Primary postoperative swelling Facial edema was assessed by measuring the distances between three selected lines, utilizing measuring tape, including the tragus of the ear to the outer corner of the mouth, the tragus to the soft tissue pogonion, and the distance that exists between the outer canthus of the eye and the angle of the mandible. preoperativly and in the second and seventh postoperative day
Primary postoperative pain The intensity of pain was assessed using the numeric rating scale (NRS), on which extreme scores start from zero (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible). The recording of the pain was on two occasions, one at 10 o'clock am and the other at 10 o'clock pm at the same time except for the operation day in which the first recording was 4 hours after surgery and the second was at 10 o'clock pm, the mean of two records represented the pain for that day.
The pain was recorded from the day of the operation until the seventh day. The scale was explained to every patient clearly as (0) represents the absence of pain, (1-2) simple pain, (3-4) low pain, (5-6) moderate tolerable pain, (7-8) intolerable severe pain that can be relieved by medication, and (9-10) intolerable severe pain not relieved by medication.
