Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To assess the hemostatic effect of chitosan-based dressing, Ankaferd and Tranexamic acid after extraction in children with end stage liver diseases | 30 minutes | evaluation of the previous materials which will be the most effective as a hemostatic agent by measuring blood loss after dental extraction after 30 minutes by the weight difference between the gauze preoperatively and postoperatively using fine electronic measurement weight device |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pain score assessment | 7 days | Pain scores will be assessed using Visual Analog Scale from 0 to 10 pain score for seven days following extraction where 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain |
