Evaluation of the Effects of Dietary Supplements Containing Trypsin, Chymotrypsin and Serratia Peptidase on Postoperative Edema, Pain and Trismus After Mandibular Impacted Third Molar Extraction.
Evaluation of the Effects of Dietary Supplements Containing Trypsin, Chymotrypsin and Serratia Peptidase on Postoperative Edema, Pain and Trismus After Mandibular Impacted Third Molar Extraction.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a dietary supplement containing trypsin, chymotrypsin, and serratia peptidase (Tripser Forte N30, Incir Pharma, Turkey) on postoperative healing and to determine the differences between the groups. The aim was to identify differences between the groups regarding postoperative pain, edema, and trismus levels.
Material and Method: Demographic data before surgery will be recorded on the patient follow-up form (Appendix 1). All surgical procedures will be performed under sterile conditions following the administration of local anesthesia (80 mg articaine hydrochloride and 0.02 mg epinephrine, Maxicaine Fort ampoule, Vem Pharmaceuticals, Istanbul, Turkey) with inferior alveolar block anesthesia and buccal mucosa anesthesia. Procedure monitoring will begin after the incision is made and will conclude with suturing. Osteotomy (bone removal) and, if necessary, root dissection will be performed using a surgical handpiece, accompanied by irrigation with sterile saline solution. Following tooth extraction, the socket will be examined, and any sharp bony prominences will be removed. The area will be closed primarily using non-resorbable silk suture material (3/0 surgical silk suture, Doğsan, Turkey). A sterile tampon will be applied to the procedure area, and the patient will be instructed to bite on the tampon for 20 minutes before removing it and replacing it with another material. As a standard postoperative approach, all patients in group 1 received antibiotics (875 mg Amoxicillin+125 mg clavulonic acid, Augmentin-BID film coated tablets, GlaxoSmithKline, Istanbul, Turkey), analgesics (25 mg dexketoprofen, Arveles tb, UFSA Pharmaceutical Industry and Trade Inc. Davutpasa Cad. No.12 (34473) Topkapi/Istanbul) and mouthwash (100 ml solution containing 120 mg (%0.12) chlorhexidine gluconate and 150 mg (%0.15) benzydamine hydrochloride) for use after surgery. Drogsan Pharmaceutical Industry and Trade Inc. Oguzlar neighborhood, 1370.sokak 7/3 Balgat 06520 Cankaya/Ankara). Patients will be instructed to take antibiotics morning and evening for 5 days, use mouthwash for 7 days starting the day after the procedure, and use mouthwash only when deemed necessary. They will be asked to record the amount they use on the provided home assessment form (Appendix 2). Patients in Group 2 will be given a dietary supplement containing trypsin, chymotrypsin, and serratia peptidase (Tripser Forte N30, Incir Pharma, Turkey) in addition to the medications mentioned above. Patient follow-up procedures will be the same.
All patients will be evaluated on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days, and pain, edema, and trismus will be recorded.
Impacted tooth extractions are the most common clinical procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery. As with other oral surgical procedures, they are associated with a wide variety of complications, including swelling, pain, limited mouth opening (trismus), bleeding, nerve damage, and delayed healing (1-3). These complications develop following the inflammatory response to the surgical intervention and can be related to factors such as age, gender, systemic condition, position of the impacted tooth, poor oral hygiene, smoking, surgical experience, and duration of the procedure (3). However, the most common complications are pain, swelling, and limited mouth opening. These can lead to a decrease in quality of life, loss of work, and restrictions on social activities (4). To reduce the inflammation that occurs after impacted tooth extraction and to reduce the severity of the aforementioned complications, various medications can be used under the heading of pharmacological methods, or additional non-pharmacological methods such as modified surgical methods, drain placement, low-power laser applications, cold therapy, and physical therapy (5-8). Trypsin, chymotrypsin, and serratia peptidase are proteolytic enzymes and stand out for their various biological functions. The use of these enzymes after surgical interventions such as tooth extraction is being investigated to reduce complications such as postoperative edema, pain, and trismus during the healing process (9).
Proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, and serratia peptidase, when used in conjunction with each other, may contribute to the reduction of postoperative edema, pain, and trismus. Each of these enzymes controls inflammation in different ways, can accelerate the healing process by degrading protein, and promotes faster tissue recovery after surgical trauma (10).
Trypsin is a protease produced by the pancreas and activated in the small intestine. Trypsin contributes to the digestive process by breaking down proteins into peptides and amino acids. Trypsin may help accelerate the healing process, particularly in the body, due to inflammation and tissue damage. This enzyme has effects such as reducing edema, wound healing, and controlling inflammation. It is frequently used after surgical interventions, such as tooth extractions, because it reduces postoperative edema and provides pain relief (11). Studies evaluating the effects of dietary supplements containing trypsin, chymotrypsin, and serratia peptidase after third molar surgery are available in the literature. The primary objective of this study was to clinically evaluate the effects of dietary supplements containing trypsin, chymotrypsin, and serratia peptidase on postoperative edema, pain, and trismus in the postoperative period of mandibular third molar extractions.
