Evaluating The Efficacy Of A 660nm Diode Laser For Post Extraction Wound Healing In Diabeteic Patients

This study assesses the efficacy of 660nm diode laser for post extraction wound healing in diabetic patients in 42 patients.this study consists of group A (experimental group) will be treated with 660 nm laser and antibiotics and group B (control group) will be treated with antibiotics.the patients will be explained about the procedure and frequency of visits.extraction of teeth will be performed as atraumatic as possible.depending on the site involved,a nerve block with 2% lignocaine with adrenaline (1:100000) will be given to anaestize the corresponding region.a periosteal eleveator will be used to reflect the gingival tissue surrounding the tooth.tooth will be luxated from the socket using elevators.appropriate forceps will be used depending on the tooth to be extarcted,available tooth structure to complete the extraction process in maxilla or mandible .healing of the extraction wounds will be checked on 3rd,5th,and 7th day using landry et al healing criteria.pain willbe measured on visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0(no pain) to 10(most severe pain).patient informed consent will be collected before the initiation of the study.
