Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of PRF application in case of alveolar osteitis.
The aim of this prospective study was to assess the effectiveness of concentrated growth factors (CGFs) in preventing the development of alveolar osteitis (AO) after the extraction of partially-erupted mandibular third molars. This study was designed as a randomized controlled clinical trial. In each case, one socket received CGFs and the other served as a control. The predictor variable was the CGFs application and the sides were categorized as 'CGFs' and 'non-CGFs'. The outcome variable was the development of AO during the first postoperative week. Also, demographic variable included age and gender was noted.
Alveolar Osteitis (AO) is a complication following extraction of a tooth. AO manifests by localized pain in and around the extraction site where the postoperative blood clot has been disintegrated. The aim of this study was to determinate if there are any concerns of use of a pharmacological drug composed of an octenidine and lyophilized hyaluronic acid in a treatment of AO. The tested drug is a sponge-like material composed solely of fully absorbable medicaments. It was designed to serve as non-toxic, slow-dissolving antiseptic which adheres to mucosa and so obturate the wound. The treatment was considered effective when the pain subsided to < 20mm VAS in < 8 days of treatment.
Background: One of the commonest post-operative complications after tooth extraction is dry socket; it can be defined as postoperative pain in and around the tooth extraction site, which increases in severity at any time between 3rd to 5th post-operative days along with disintegrated blood clot within the tooth extraction socket with or without halitosis. The exact etiology is unclear therefor prevention remains the main beneficial therapy. Various factors are thought to play an important role in etiology of dry socket including, anaerobes, fibrinolysis, traumatic extractions, frequent spiting and rinsing, oral contraceptive pill and smoking. Numerous approaches have been tried for prevention of dry socket; include antiseptic mouthwashes, anti-fibrinolytic agents, antibiotics, intra-socket dressings and medicated packing into the extraction wound for example chlorohexidine mouthwashes, warm saline rinses, gelatin sponges, occlusive dressings and oxidized cellulose sponge. Purpose of the study is to compare the role of single preoperative oral dose of metronidazole with amoxicillin in hindrance of dry socket compared to conventional therapy after removal of mandibular third molar of class 2 impaction. Objectives: To find out effective treatment for prevention of dry socket among preoperative single oral dose of metronidazole and amoxicillin compared to conventional therapy. Methods: A double blind randomized control trial in which patients requiring surgical extraction of lower 3rd molar of class 2 impactions were selected for this study. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, one of the groups had received single preoperative oral dose of metronidazole one hour before extraction, second group was treated with single oral dose of amoxicillin an hour before tooth extraction and third group was treated with conventional therapy. Patients were asked to visit on 5th postoperative day or before it in case the pain persist or reoccur.
In the everyday clinical practice the incidence of minor complications is approximately 15-20% of the total number of third molar removals. Alveolitis (dry socket syndrome) may arise in 30-40% of the surgical tooth removals. Several preventive approaches are known, such as the use of iodoform gauze, zink-oxide eugenol paste, platelet rich fibrin (PRF), different medicine containing pastes, like antibiotics containing, non-steroid pain killer containing, steroid containing, or the application of chlorhexidine gel and solutions. In the case of a manifest alveolitis these methods can be used as well. The aims of this research are: i) to identify the important pathogens which play role in the development of alveolitis (microbiological methods), ii) to analyze the in vitro effectivity of the different antiseptic materials in case of infections (inhibitory zones) iii) to compare the effectivity of different alveolitis preventive methods in a prospective clinical study, iv) to compare the different treatment options in alveolitis in a prospective clinical study.
Background: Alveolar osteitis is one of the most frequent complications after lower third molar extraction, and is usually accompanied by inflammation, pain and poor wound healing. Several local interventions have been used to reduce these complications with limited effectiveness. Purpose: To clinically evaluate the use of propolis extract, nanovitamin C and nanovitamin E gel for the prevention of surgical complications related to impacted lower third molar extraction. Methods: A randomized, triple-blind, split-mouth, pilot study is being performed in patients needing bilateral lower third molar extraction with similar surgical difficulty. Surgical extractions are randomly being performed and NBF gingival gel (TG) or placebo (PBG) are randomly being applied inside postextraction sockets by a blinded surgeon. The patients are being instructed to apply it 3 times/day in the surgical wound for 7 days. One month later, the contralateral wisdom tooth is being extracted and the opposite gel is being applied. Alveolar osteitis (AO) is being diagnosed following Blum's criteria. Swelling is being assessed by measuring the facial perimeter. Wound healing is being evaluated with a semi-quantitative scale as good, satisfactory or insufficient. Postoperative pain is being recorded using a visual analog scale (VAS) for 7 days. Analgesic pill intake is being recorded by each patient. Variables are being registered by a blinded researcher to 3M extractions at one, two, three and seven postoperative days.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an oxytetracycline impregnated gauze drain on the incidence of alveolar osteitis (AO) and postoperative pain during the first week after mandibular third molar surgery.
A prospective randomized parallel trial will be carried out on 100 patients who have extraction of single molar tooth. Teeth extractions will be done under local anesthesia. The patients will be divided randomly into two parallel groups. Group 1: The patients will start using Chlorhexidine mouthwash on the second day of extraction twice daily for 7 days. Group 2: After extraction, Manuka Honey will be applied topically into the extraction socket. Postoperative instructions will be given for all patients in addition to the prescription of ibuprofen 600 mg every 8 hours for 3 days. Re-evaluation: Postoperative day 3: tenderness with probing the socket, empty socket, food debris, halitosis and assessment of pain. For group 2, the intra-alveolar application of honey will be repeated. Re-evaluation will be repeated in the seventh post-operative day. Acute alveolar osteitis, (dry socket) is diagnosed if the patient presented between the 2nd and 4th days with pain or tenderness in the socket with probing, empty socket and food debris with or without halitosis.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of 0.2 % digluconate chlorhexidine mouthwash in the prevention of alveolar osteitis following third molar extraction and to evaluate the safety and local tolerability.
Triclosan containing dentifrices are effective in the prevention of inflammatory complications following third molar surgery through reducing preoperative oral bacteria load.
