Aim of study:
This clinical study evaluated the efficacy of Propolis (gel 50%) to
enhance the wounds healing after tooth extraction according of healing index.
This study was performed in the faculty of dental medicine –Damascus university.
the studied sample contained 30 patients in need for surgical extraction of third inferior
molar. A dose of 2 grams of amoxicillin was administered an hour before surg
ery to 15
patients. The oral health was assessed using plaque index and gingivitis index. 5ml of
venous blood was taken pre and post surgery. Blood was then put in special glass bottles
and incubated in 37c for five days, then the blood samples were cultured on blood agar and
MacConkey's agar and then searched for any bacterial growth
bacterimia percentage was 0% before surgery in all study participants, while it was
71.4% with amoxicillin and 42.9% without amoxicillin.
The aim of this clinical study compared the use of normal
saline versus (PVP-I) as Irrigating solution during bone
removal on the following edema of The surgical extraction of
the lower third molar impacted.
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.
Although the use of Soft Laser appliances has become common in dental
practice especially in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery as an
important method for controlling the edema that may occur after oral and
maxillofacial surgery (as said
by the manufacturing companies ),there
are just a few neutral researches that deal scientifically with this subject, so
that is our motive to do in this research .In this study, and between May
1996 and May 2003, 80 patients were carefully selected so 160 lower third
molars were surgically extracted , the soft laser was applied on the left side
and after that the results compared with the results of the right side
operations which were not subjected to any method for controlling edema.
The results were disappointing and the great advantages that were
confirmed by the manufacturing companies were not true while the neutral
comparative research emphasized that the usage of Soft laser treatment has
no magical effect in reducing or preventing the occurrence of severe edema
after the surgery of impacted lower third molars , so we want to warn every
dentist to be careful when reading a research sponsored by the
manufacturing companies of Soft laser appliances.
