Herbs and animals are used either whole or in part
have proved to be effective therapeutic remedies. It has
been claimed, Placental extract plays a beneficial role as
a topical agent in the management of chronic nonhealing wounds & castor oil is anti-inflammatory when
externally applied to injuries. Where as periodontal
dressing reduces the risk of wound infection, bleeding
and granulation tissue formation and improves tissue
healing. This study evaluated efficacy of these extracts
on wound healing.
Aim
Assess the role of placenta extract & castor oil
along with periodontal dressing in surgical wound
healing process .
Material & Methods
A randomized controlled clinical trial including
thirty (30) patients. Patients were divided into 3ngroups.
Patients were selected on the basis of inclusion and
exclusion criteria. Surgical procedure will be performed
. Primary efficacy outcome assessed by Landry index
and Pain Assessment Scales. The secondary efficacy
outcome were changes in Plaque index ( Sillness & Loe
1964 ) followed by histological evaluation at 7th day of
surgery. The patients will be followed 1 week
postoperative followed by 2nd week , 3rd week, and 1
month.
Result
Marked improvement was reported in wound
healing considering time and treatment effect in all
groups, faster wound healing observed in Coe pack &
Placentrix group compared to Castor oil group ,however
in intergroup comparisonin 1st week there is faster
healing in Coepack is reported but P value is not
significant , P value is significant with castor oil in 1st
week , in 2nd week healing is faster reported in Placentrix
group then other two group but P value is not significant
. In 3rd & 4th week no significant value is reported
between three groups . Post‑operative evaluation of the
NIPC PAIN SCALE score revealed that the discomfort
and pain level associated with Placentrix & castor oil
was significantly lower than conventional Coe pack
dressing postoperatively ,on comparison of all three
groups P value found to be significant. While in cases of
plaque index at 1st week of depigmentation procedure
plaque value found to be significant & more plaque
accumulation is found in that case of Coepack dressing
alone ,while there is no significant difference found in
between Placentrix & castor oil grouping.
Conclusion
It may be concluded that Placentrix & castor oil
are a safe and low cost medicament and may feasibly
apply to promote wound healing & topical analgesic for
intra oral surgeries, especially in whom underlying
systemic and local diseases that further disturb healing
processes.
