Abstract
Background and objectives: Pain is a common issue following tooth extraction. Various methods, such as sutures or mucosal adhesives, alleviate post-extraction pain. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Ora-Aid mucosal adhesive patches and suturing in reducing postoperative pain after tooth extraction.
Materials and methods: This clinical trial involved 18 volunteer patients undergoing the extraction of their maxillary first premolar tooth. Each patient had two premolar teeth extracted during two visits, one on each side of the maxilla. Sutures and Ora-Aid were used to cover the extraction site during each visit. The severity of pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) at 5, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-extraction. Data was analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Wilcoxon rank tests with a significance level of P < 0.05.
Results: The study included 18 participants with a mean (SD) age of 18.27 (2.72) and 44.5% (8) of them were men. At the baseline measurement (5 hours post-surgery), there was no difference in pain levels between the two groups (P > 0.05). The results indicated no significant difference in pain scores between the two groups (P = 0.445). However, pain decreased over time in both groups (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Both techniques effectively reduced post-extraction pain, and there was no significant difference between the two in terms of pain reduction. Therefore, dentists can use either sutures or Ora-Aid based on patient preference.
