Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Assessing the effect of topical application of octenidine dihydrochloride with chlorhexidine gauze dressing on soft tissue abrasions in maxillofacial regionTimepoint: 2nd day 7th day 15th day	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. To assess the time taken for granulation tissue formation after application of dressings i.e octenidine dihydrochloride and chlorhexidine gauze dressing. 2. To assess the incidence of post trauma infection of the wound site after application of dressings i.e octenidine dihydrochloride and chlorhexidine gauze dressing. 3. To assess the epithelialization and contracture of wound following 15 days of healing after application of dressings i.e octenidine dihydrochloride and chlorhexidine gauze dressing. 4. To compare the time taken for granulation tissue formation, epithelialization or contracture of wound, pain reduction and incidence of post trauma infection in between Octenidine dihydrochloride and Chlorhexidine gauze dressing in healing of soft tissue abrasions.Timepoint: 2nd day 7th day 15th day	—
