A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be performed to assess the efficacy of a probiotic containing Lactobacillus reuteri in improving post-surgical wound healing after impacted tooth extractions. The Primary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of L. reuteri in improving post-extractive healing. The Secondary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of L. reuteri in association with an antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin) in reducing the incidence and severity of antibiotic-associated gastro-intestinal symptoms.
Hyaluronic acid (HY) is used in dentistry to improve wound healing after oral and periodontal surgical interventions. After the application of HY, a positive effect on the wound healing of extraction sockets and periodontal defects has been described. The removal of a mandibular wisdom tooth (LM3) often leads to remaining residual defects with increased probing depths distal to the second molar. To date, the influence of HY on periodontal healing of the distal aspect of the second molar after removal of the LM3 has not yet been investigated. Accordingly, the aim of this double-blind, controlled and randomized clinical study is the influence of the application of HY Gel or HY Gel in combination with an absorbable collagen sponge on the periodontal healing of the second molar after surgical removal of the LM3 compared to the standard procedure (blood clot). A total of 102 patients with an impacted LM3 and a pre-existing bone defect of at least 5 mm distal to the second molar will be included. In the HY test group (n = 34), HY gel is applied to the LM3 extraction socket, and in the HY + C test group (n = 34) HY gel and an absorbable collagen sponge, while the control group (n = 34) does not receive any additional treatment. Patients are followed up for 12 months and the presence of an increased probing depth (≥ 5mm) on the distal side of the second molar is defined as the main parameter. A more stable blood clot and thus improved wound healing including periodontal healing is expected through the use of HY.
The aim is to test the effect of low level laser therapy on the relief of symptoms after wisdom tooth removal.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of using Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix and β-tricalcium phosphate that placed to extraction socket as a graft material in terms of periodontal damage occurred in the distal aspect of the second molar after mandibular impacted third molar surgery.
Clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated encouraging results of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) chronotherapy in the management and treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. However, no previous clinical trials have addressed how the timing of NSAID administration within the day affects pain and healing outcomes after oral surgery that involves bone removal, such as surgical extraction of the third molars. Methods to address our aim, Single-center double-blind randomized controlled trial study design has been adopted. Patients who needed a lower third molar extraction and meet the eligibility criteria will be recruited. Participants will be randomized into two groups. Subjects in group one will be instructed to take an NSAID (ibuprofen 400 mg) at 7 AM and 12 PM combined with a placebo before bed between 8 and 10 PM for three days postoperatively. Subjects in group 2 will be instructed to take an NSAID (ibuprofen 400 mg) between 7 AM, 12 PM and between 8 and 10 PM for three days postoperatively. The patients' self-reported pain in the three days after surgery will be recorded as the primary outcome. Additionally, healing indicators such as the maximum interincisal distance and measurements of facial swelling will be recorded preoperatively and four days postoperatively. Each participant's blood level of C-reactive protein will be recorded pre- and postoperatively as an inflammatory marker. Discussion: The study will estimate the effect of using NSAID only in the morning following surgical extraction of the third molar to decrease pain and improve postoperative healing and recovery in comparison to the routine use of NSAIDs three times per day.
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.
the aim of this randomized controlled clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new piezoelectric technique for wisdom teeth extraction without using manual tools versus the conventional one.Patients referred to the hospital of Bolzano for wisdom tooth extraction will be randomly divided in two groups. In the test group all the procedure will be performed using piezoelectric instruments, while in the control one conventional manual instruments will be used. Main outcome measures are patient pain and complications, secondary outcome measures are duration of the surgical treatment and soft tissue healing
The investigators will select 30 patients with symmetrical impaction of third molars, according to Pell and Gregory dental impaction classification, who would be submitted to two surgical procedures, right and left, and in both surgeries dexamethasone 8 mg was administered in the pre-surgery phase, and the use of dexamethasone (12 mg/day) for 3 days on one side and diclofenac sodium (150 mg/day) for 3 days on the other side was continued, in a randomized, double-blind and cross-over trial so that all patients acted as control of themselves (split-mouth). Other drugs used in postoperative period, rescue analgesic and antibiotic therapy will be identical for all patients. The analyzed variables will be the visual analogue pain scale (VAS), total number of consumed analgesics, swelling and trismus (objectively), which were statistically analyzed by means of Student's t-test.
In this investigation the investigators would like to find out which of two commonly used techniques of management of palatally impacted canines: closed-window (CWT) or open-window (OWT), produces more favorable outcome.
