Ozone Oil-based Gel and CHX Gel After Lower Third Molar Removal

Comparing Ozone Oil-based Gel and CHX Gel Applications to Reduce Pain and Incidence of Dry Socket After Lower Third Molar Extraction, a Randomized Clinical Study

Overall, 100 patients of both genders were included in the study, with indication of surgical extraction of lower third molar, positioned similarly after being clinically and radiographically checked by X-ray and orthopantomography. Each patient was subjected to both groups in separate sessions: treated with ozone gas and with CHX gel 1%. Data on pain intensity, number of taken analgesics- painkillers, and dry socket were recorded for 48 h and at Day 7

• Patients in whom operative extraction of third molars is indicated with the creation of a mucoperiosteal flap.
• Patients regardless of gender.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Voluntary exclusion of the patient.
