Popis: This histologic study was conducted to determine the effect of butyl cyanoacrylate on the healing of extraction wounds. Ninety-six upper first molars were extracted in forty-eight adult rats. Half of the wounds were covered with a spray of butyl cyanoacrylate, while the other half were left uncovered. When animals were killed from 1 to 21 days postoperatively, it was found that the wounds protected with the cyanoacrylate spray consistently showed less inflammatory infiltrate than the control wounds. In addition, it appears that collagenization and epithelization probably occur faster in these treated wounds than in the control wounds. It is postulated that this material should be a valuable aid in the prevention of the so-called “dry socket.”
