The objective of this study was to compare Chlorhexidine gel 0,2%
with Clindamycine phosphate gel 1% when they applied topically
to protect of pain and dry socket after surgical extraction.
Due to it`s several properties of Trypsin as an active enzyme in treating wounds, the
aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of this material with traditional treatments in
treating dry socket.
Methods:132 patients (20-65 years old) partic
ipated in this study.
The patient were distributed randomly into two groups.
The first group (group 1) was treated with Trypsin whereas the other (group 2) was
treated with traditional technique .
Patients were monitored, to asses healing process, after 24 hours, 48 hourse, and after
1 week.
Results: 43,9% of group 1 and 10,6% of group 2 had no pain P<0,05,wereas 81,8%
of group 1 and 43,9% of group 2 didn`t present dry socket P<0,05. Concerning infection ,7
cases of group 1 and 11 cases of group 2 had infection of soft tissue P<0,05.
Conclusions :Pain, dry socket, and soft tissue infection was less in casese treated
with Trypsin comparing with cases treated with traditional technique.
The study included 480 patients , 260 males and 220 females who have 920
teeth to beextracted.
The ages of patients were ranging from 20 to 40 years.
In each group the teeth were divided according to its location , Mandible,
Maxillary, anterior o
r posterior.
The extractions were symmetric .Socketol was used in one side while was
not used in the other side..
Patients were recalled after 24 hours 36 hours,48 hours and 72 hours .
Dry socket was determined by the symptoms and signs.
