Low-intensity laser efficacy in Combined Treatment of Patients with Alveolar Osteitis

Abstract

Objective: To study the effectiveness of combined treatment in patients with alveolar osteitis after tooth extraction. Materials and methods: The 87 patients with alveolar osteitis were selected for the study (from 2017 to 2020). Clinical and radiological methods were used to evaluation socket. To conduct a comparative analysis of the treatments results, two groups were formed: Group I is represented by 44 patients with alveolar osteitis received complex treatment with the inclusion of hyaluronic acid (HA) and magnetic-laser therapy. The II group is represented by 43 patients, with alveolar osteitis received treatment without the inclusion of hyaluronic acid (HA) and magnetic-laser therapy. To assess the pain syndrome in dynamics, we used visual analogue scale. Patients noted pain intensity in the first visit, as well as in dynamics on the 3rd, 5th, 7th day, respectively. Results:Group 1 patients, the VAS score indicator shows that by the 5th procedure in 93% of cases the pain is completely absent, and only 1 patient has mild pain. Patients of the 2 group, we observed a similar picture only on the 7-8th day of treatment.When comparing 2 group the best pain relief was patients first group. Hyperemia of the mucous membrane of the socket of the extracted tooth on the 5th day of treatment is completely absent in the 2nd group only in 32% of patients of the 1st group, this indicator reaches 98%. Conclusion: The results of the treatment showed that, сomplex treatment using Hyaluronic acid (HA) and magnetic-laser therapy reduced the time pain, recovery time, increase the effectiveness of treatment. Thus, on the basis of clinical data, it can be concluded that the anti-inflammatory effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) and magneto-laser therapy is more pronounced than standard treatment methods.
