The effect of Attachable intra oral wound dressing tape on post extraction dental socket

Abstract

Introduction: One of the most discussed topics in dental research are post dental extraction bleeding and socket healing. There is limited previous studies showing the action of Attachable oral wound dressing tape on controlling the post dental extraction socket bleeding and Enhancement of the rate at which tissue in the socket heals after a tooth extraction. Materials and Methods:This study was a prospective, randomized, controlled, and single-blind clinical trial conducted in Baghdad over a 2-month period, from June 3, 2023, to August 1, 2023. The procedure involved the extraction of the first molar, which was conveniently sampled. The sockets were randomly allocated into two groups: the study group, which had sockets covered with Attachable oral wound dressing tape, and the control group, which had sockets covered with surgical gauze. The patients had examination 2 hours after dental extraction to evaluate post-operative bleeding, and again 4 days later to check the repair of the dental socket following extraction. Results: This study included 58 (31 females and 27 male) patients with an age > 15 years old. Post extraction dental bleeding was significantly better at the study group after 2 hour (P=0.001). Also there is statistically significant difference in the decrease of alveolar ostietis incidence in study group after 4 days (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Ora helps to safeguard the blood clot in the sockets after dental extraction and promotes the proper healing of the extraction sites. Additional research conducted at more suitable intervals is important to yield dependable results.
