List of Publications by Department for the Academic Year Effect of Xenograft- Ozonated Gel Mixture on Alveolar Bone Healing Following Removal of Impacted Third Molar: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of mixing the
xenograft with ozonated gel and their application in the extraction socket following the surgical
removal of impacted mandibular third molar.
Patients & Methods: The study was conducted on sixty patients with asymptomatic bilateral
impacted mandibular third molars. The molar on one side was extracted and xenograft (Bio-oss®
Geistlich Pharma AG, Switzerland) mixed with ozone gel was applied in the extraction socket
(study side); the molar on the other side was extracted two weeks later and xenograft alone was
placed in the extraction socket (control side).
Results: Pain, maximal incisal opening and swelling were significantly improved in the study
group when compared to the control group. Values of bone density was higher in the study group
throughout the follow-up period.
Conclusion: Incorporation of ozone gel within the xenograft material plays an important role in
increasing the alveolar bone density, enhancement of postoperative pain, swelling, range of mouth
opening and gives better wound healing.
Key words: Ozone gel, Third molar, Pain, Trismus, Swelling, Bio-Oss graft.
