Evaluation of post operative healing response and patient comfort with two periodontal dressings- ResoPac and CoePak following periodontal flap surgery- A comparative clinical study.
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: to assess the patient comfort early wound healing with a periodontal dressing in patients who underwent periodontal flap surgeries. Materials and methods: A split mouth randomized comparative clinical study was conducted in 30 patients who required periodontal flap surgery. After completion of the surgery , Coepak and resopac were placed in the control and test sites respectively and palatability, retainability, irritability, interference with function and pain was measured 7th day postoperatively and statistically analysed using Kruskal Wallis test, Z test an Man W hitney U test. Results: Intergroup comparison of both the packs at 7th day in terms of retainabilty revealed that 96% of coepak group retained the pack all through 7 days whereas 52% retained resopack for only 1 day, 36% retained for 2 days and 12% of them retained for 3 days. Intergroup comparison of Early healing index showed that the mean score was 2 for both the packs at 7th day of reevaluation which were statistically non significant. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding the healing parameters. Coe pak seems to serve the ideal role of protecting immediate post surgical wound. Resopac reported certain uneasiness due to leaching of material in oral cavity over a period of time , thereby owing to less preference compared to Coe pak by the patient.
