Background: The goal of the current study was to determine if irrigation with ozonated water following conventional exodontia lowers post-extraction complications in contrast to irrigation with normal saline.Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 healthy participants, 40 males and 40 females 40 men who had routine closed tooth extraction. Two groups of participants were formed (Group A: irrigated with ozonated water and group B: irrigated with normal saline). The key research postoperative outcome measures that had been assessed postoperatively were the pain level experienced during the first five days after surgery, the degree of soft tissue healing, and the occurrence of alveolar osteitis.Results: Both groups had an equal distribution of males and females. Gender and age characteristics did not significantly differ across groups (P=0.588 and P=0.104 respectively). Both groups saw a significant postoperative reduction in pin, which decreased from 1.9 on the first day to 0.3 on the fifth. Regarding the occurrence of alveolar osteitis or the rate of soft tissue healing, there was no marked difference between the groups.Conclusion: Although ozonated water reduced the occurrence of postoperative sequla after traditional nonsurgical tooth extraction, the findings were not statistically different from the standard saline irrigation strategy.
Objectives: The goal of the current study was to assess how hyaluronic acid dermal filler was applied and how well it worked to conceal lip abnormalities after surgery in a group of Egyptian cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients.Methods: This research included sixteen female patients with unilateral lip scars between 15 and 20 years of age. Hyaluronic acid dermal filler (HADF) was injected with needle in upper lip at the scar site. Evaluation was done clinically and by digital photography before and after the procedure. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) from (0-10) was used as a patient satisfaction assessment survey. Follow up period was made one week and one month post injection.Results: All these patients noted a significant improvement in their lip scars following HA filler injection with better psychological state. The VAS satisfaction rate assessment was high and ranging from 7-9 with a mean of (8.0 ± 0.9). Clinical observation showed no long-term complications, however patients complained of some discomfort due to fibrosed tight lips during the injection.Conclusion: HADF is a safe noninvasive temporary method used for masking cleft lip scars and restoring vermilion border volume which promotes the appearance and psychological status of the CL patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
