Abstract
Background: Diabetic patients are associated with a series of post extraction complications, such as delayed healing, greater risk of infections, persistent pain, dry socket and delayed bone formation. There is paucity of studies which indicate the influence of glycemic index and antibiotic prophylaxis in prevention of complications after minor surgical procedures. Various adjuncts such as hydrogels, curcumin and platelet gels are used in the extraction socket to augment healing, minimize complications and promote bone regeneration.
Aim: To assess the effect of hyaluronic acid gel with and without metronidazole on wound healing in post extraction sockets of diabetic patients.
Methodology: A double blind randomized controlled study was conducted at FDS, RUAS, Bengaluru, India. Diabetic patients indicated for simple extraction of mandibular molars were randomly divided into two groups and prescribed oral metronidazole 1 h prior to extraction. After extraction, 1% hyaluronic acid gel was placed in the sockets of patients in Group A and Group B received 1% hyaluronic acid gel with 5% metronidazole. Soft tissue healing was assessed after one week using wound healing index and photographs of the socket with AutoCAD program. Pain was assessed by VAS. Hard tissue healing was evaluated radiologically using CBCT scans taken immediately after extraction and after one month and analyzed in the 3D slicer software. Pain was assessed by VAS, number of rescue analgesics, complications if any.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in hard and soft tissue healing and pain scores between the two groups. However, it was statistically significant between the two-time intervals within each group.
Conclusion: In patients with short term glycemic control, use of a single dose of oral metronidazole prior to extraction and placement of 1% hyaluronic acid gel in the extraction socket resulted in uneventful healing with evidence of bone formation at one month. Addition of 5% metronidazole to the gel seems to have no added advantage.
期刊介绍：
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery founded as Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie is a peer-reviewed online journal. It is designed for clinicians as well as researchers.The quarterly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery and interdisciplinary aspects of cranial, facial and oral diseases and their management. The journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope on work in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as supporting specialties. Practice-oriented articles help improve the methods used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Every aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery is fully covered through a range of invited review articles, clinical and research articles, technical notes, abstracts, and case reports. Specific topics are: aesthetic facial surgery, clinical pathology, computer-assisted surgery, congenital and craniofacial deformities, dentoalveolar surgery, head and neck oncology, implant dentistry, oral medicine, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, TMJ and trauma.Time-limited reviewing and electronic processing allow to publish articles as fast as possible. Accepted articles are rapidly accessible online.Clinical studies submitted for publication have to include a declaration that they have been approved by an ethical committee according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 1964 (last amendment during the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000). Experimental animal studies have to be carried out according to the principles of laboratory animal care (NIH publication No 86-23, revised 1985).
