“…28 In a recent study by Raghavan et al 2020, pain was significantly higher in the control group, which had no dressing, compared to the Reso-Pac® group after the surgical removal of mandibular 3rd molars. 29 The healing index using Landry score 1985 and reepithelization assessment had an insignificant rise after 1 and 2 weeks for the study group. No differences were noticed after 3 weeks and 1 month.…”

“…In a study by Chanitanya et al 2017, pain assessment showed that the VAS results taken during the first 3 days after surgery were similar in both groups, with an insignificant rise in Coe‐pak group when comparing Coe‐pak and Reso‐Pac® after periodontal flap surgery 28 . In a recent study by Raghavan et al 2020, pain was significantly higher in the control group, which had no dressing, compared to the Reso‐Pac® group after the surgical removal of mandibular 3rd molars 29 …”

“…30 A study by Savitha et al 2015 showed that the Reso-Pac® group had significantly better colour changes compared to the Coe-pack group. 14 Raghavan et al 2020 also found that the Reso-Pac® group had a substantially higher healing mean using Landry 1985 score compared to the study group who had no dressing, 29 while in a study by Chanitanya et al 2017 an insignificant rise was observed in the Reso-Pac® group compared to the Coe-pak group in healing index in wounds that heal in first intention. 28 Induced pain index showed a significantly high mean score in the Coe-pak group compared to the Reso-Pac® group after 1 week (p = 0.015), epithelial formation was faster in Reso-Pac®, which may explain the lower induced pain score.…”

ObjectiveMany dressings are used after the surgical removal of gingival pigmentation. This study aims to compare absorbed dressing (Reso‐Pac®) and eugenol‐free dressing (Coe‐pak) in accelerating wound healing, re‐epithelization and reducing pain after surgical removal of gingival pigmentation using a surgical scalpel.Materials and MethodsThis randomized clinical trial (RCT) used a split‐mouth design. According to Hedin's classification, 10 patients with maxillary physiological gingival pigmentation class 3 and 4 were selected. Reso‐Pac® and Coe‐pak were randomly applied on each side after surgery. Landry's scale was used to assess healing index, and re‐epithelization was evaluated using toluidine blue stain. Pain was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Induced pain was evaluated after 1 week by applying airflow on each side for 5 s using VAS.ResultsThe study group had higher but insignificant differences after 1 and 2 weeks in healing index and re‐epithelization. Pain was insignificantly higher in study group after 2 h but insignificantly higher in the control group in days (1–5). Induced pain was significantly higher (p = 0.015) in the control group after 1 week.ConclusionReso‐Pac® can be considered as a viable alternative for Coe‐pak due to its effects in pain reduction and accelerating wound healing.

“…Post-operative management of intraoral tumors remains a challenging issue as surgeons are ought to ensure successful yet prompt wound healing process in order to prevent haemorrhage and wound dehiscence after tumor resection. Several treatment methods have been used to minimize the risk after intraoral tumor resections, including prophylactic antibiotics and proper intraoral wound care [2] A study even reported a novel, hydrophilic, self-dissolving dressing material which has proven to be more effective in handling post-operative intra oral pain and wound in the subject group than the control group [9] .…”

Introduction The surgical removal of an intraoral tumor and preventing intraoral wound dehiscence are constant challenges faced by surgeons today. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), the inhalation of 100% oxygen at a greater atmospheric pressure, is often used in cases of wounds to induce a faster wound healing process, alongside other treatment modalities. We report a rare case of squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) treated with HBOT after being surgically removed to foster an accelerated wound recovery. Case presentation A 39-year-old Asian male presented with an intraoral 3 × 4 cm tumor, accompanied by acute pain on the maxillary region. Biopsy results showed a solid, brown parenchyma with islands of mature squamous epithelial cells, confirming the diagnosis of an SOT. An intraoral surgical approach was performed to remove the tumor. The patient was then treated with prophylactic antibiotics and 5 consecutive, daily sessions of HBOT at 2.0 ATA as an adjuvant therapy. No further complaints and no abnormalities were found at the 2-week follow-up evaluation. Discussion In our case of SOT, HBOT plays a role to inhibiting the bacterial growth which could lead to post-operative wound infections. A number of studies have incorporated HBOT as an adjuvant therapy for post-operative intra oral wounds which has resulted in minimal wound complications. Conclusion The use of HBOT as an adjunctive therapy in managing possible wound complications after the resection of an intraoral tumor enables a faster angiogenesis process, reduces tissue hypoxia and minimizes the risk of post-operative wound infections; hence fostering the wound healing process.
