Introduction: Dry socket (DS) or Alveolar osteitis (AO) is a common post extraction complication in third molar removal. Various techniques have been used to reduce the risk of DS. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of Chlorhexidine (CHX) gel in preventing the development of DS. Study Design: Randomized double blind case-control study. Setting: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of University College of Dentistry (UCD), The University of Lahore, Pakistan. Period: July 2017 to December 2017. Methodology: Patients having impacted mandibular 3rd molars selected for surgical extraction. Randomly selected one group consisted of 30 patients received CHX gel and the other group again of 30 patients considered as the control. The outcome variable was formation of DS and the predictor variable was CHX gel application. Data were processed using chi-square test with the confidence interval of 95%. Results: 60 cases (39 females and 21 males) with average age of 22 years ± 5 years underwent 3rd molar extractions. Total 09 sockets (15%) developed DS. The frequency of DS in CHX gel (2 cases, 6.7%) was significantly lower than control (7 cases, 23.3%) (P-value < 0.05). Conclusion: CHX gel can reduce the risk of development of DS after mandibular 3rd molar surgical extraction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
