Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Post-operative painimmediately after extraction and the second day after extractionVisual Analogue Scale score "VAS score" From 0-10 scores score 0 is no pain which is the best 1-4 is mild pain 5 is moderate pain from 5 -10 pain is getting worse and 10 is the worst

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Radiographic bone changes "horizontal bone changes " using Cone beam CBCTbefore extraction and 3months after omega 3 placementPerforming one CBCT before extraction and one new CBCT after 3 months of extraction and omega-3 placement then comparing both CBCTs by J image computer program to get the difference in vertical bone measurements in millimeter
Radiographic bone changes " Vertical bone fill" using CBCTbefore and after 3 months of extraction and omega-3 placementPerforming one CBCT before extraction and one new CBCT after 3 months of extraction and omega-3 placement then comparing both CBCTs by J image computer program to get the difference in vertical bone measurements in millimeter
Radiographic bone changes "Bone density" using CBCT3 months after extraction and placement of omega-3Performing one CBCT before extraction and one new CBCT after 3 months of extraction and omega-3 placement then comparing both CBCTs by J image computer program to get the radiographic bone changes in millimeter and Hounsfield units
Histological examinationafter 3months of extraction during implant placement bone is taken using trephine burusing Hematoxylin and Eosin staining to measure the area of newly formed bone "Percentage"
Healing Index "HI" by Landry et al using scoresafter 3months of omega 3 placementUsing Landry et al wound healing index to measure soft tissue reaction changes. Each category is scored from 1 to 5, with 1 indicating very poor healing and 5 indicating excellent healing. The HI is a useful tool for assessing the quality of wound healing and guiding postoperative interventions.
