Efficacy of haemostatic, hygroscopic and antimicrobial properties of 1 percent Feracrylum post dental extractions in medically compromised patients .

The study aims at evaluating the haemostatic, hygroscopic and antimicrobial properties of 1% feracrylum in medically compromised patients.

The prospective clinical trial will involve patients of age 18-65 years who are planned for intra-alveolar extractions and having systemic diseases like hypertension and diabetes or on aspirin therapy. Divided into group A and B Study group and Control group respectively.

After the extraction of the tooth a gauze soaked with Themiseal 1% feracrylum will be placed on the socket for 2 minutes, and amount of bleeding will be recorded by removing the gauze and taking a photograph. Same gauze will be placed and as did earlier and photos will be taken to record bleeding at 5minutes and 10minutes after extraction. Following this, for initial assessment of WOUND CLOSURE RATE parameter a photograph was taken after 30 minutes of extraction which will be the 1st record of the wound size, proforma including all the necessary questionnaires, parameters and patient’s details will be filled and patient will be prescribed with antibiotics, analgesics for next 3 days and Themiseal mouthwash for next 7 days, In the control group the parameter will be the same just guaze placed after extraction will be saline soaked gauze and Themiseal mouthwash won’t be prescribed.

Recall of the patient will be done on 3rd, 7th and 15th day according to the study parameters which are a) Post-operative bleeding scale. b) Wound healing status. c) Visual Analogue Scale. d) Wound Closure Rate. e) Verbal rating scale. f) Asepsis wound score. For both the groups.
