Brief summary

This study compares the effectiveness of Gelatamp for intraoral wound closure after extraction of mandibular teeth.

Detailed description

In the interventional group, after extraction of mandibular teeth, the extraction socket will be augmented with Gelatamp. Then a gauze pack will be placed over it. In the control group, after extraction of mandibular teeth, a gauze pack will be placed over the socket.

Interventions

DRUGColloidal silver gelatin sponge

Augment the extraction socket with Gelatamp

DRUGSterile gauze pack

Extraction socket allowed to heal without augmentation with any material
