Brief summary
This study aims to assess the post-dental extraction pain following the application of two different dressing materials. Alvogyl® and Absorbable gelatin sponges
Detailed description
Effective postoperative pain relief improves the quality of recovery and the resumption of normal activities. Many options are available for postoperative pain relief following tooth extraction including systemic analgesic, intra-alveolar socket dressing medicaments, and follow the postoperative instructions; the choice of the medication determined by drug availability, chance of side effect of some drugs and financial considerations. The use of intra-alveolar dressing materials is widely suggested in the literature such as Alvogyl® that used as palliative treatment which includes eugenol (analgesic, anti-inflammatory), iodoform (antimicrobial), and butamen (anesthetic). Absorbable gelatin sponges contain haemostatic material and may be used for local application in surgical procedures where traditional haemostasis is difficult. In addition to its haemostatic effect, an absorbable gelatin sponge can be used as a drug reservoir to provide sustained release of drugs The aim of this study is to measure the pain intensity after using socket dressing materials following tooth extraction.
Interventions
