Pericoronitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Oxyflower® Gel as a Coadjuvant in Pericoronitis Treatment: Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect and the impact on the quality of life of the coadjuvant treatment with Oxyflower® gel in cases of pericoronitis in lower third molar, compared to chlorhexidine gel and placebo gel.
This study consist of 51 participants diagnosed with pericoronitis who received coadjuvant treatment with gel. The participants were submitted to emergency treatment, with local debridement and irrigation with saline solution followed by topical application of the randomized gel: oxyflower®, chlorhexidine, or placebo gel. In cases of pericoronitis with systemic signs / symptoms, such as fever, malaise and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotic therapy was prescribed one hour before debridement, lasting seven days. All participants received oral hygiene guidelines and were instructed to apply the same gel twice daily for one week . After 30 days, it was performed tooth removal for cases in which there is not enough space for dental eruption; or distal wedge surgery when there is space for dental eruption with excessive gingiva in the distal. It was evaluated as outcomes: pain, quality of life, depth of probing, level of bone crest in the distal of second molar, buccal opening and extent of edema / erythema. A comparative analysis was performed between the groups, before and after treatment. ;
