Abstract

After dental extractions, patients may experience post-operative pain, with varying degree of severity among patients. The use of Er, Cr: YSGG laser in oral wound healing has garnered considerable interest and attention in recent years. The present study aims to evaluate and assess the wound healing and post operative pain after extraction of teeth in pediatric patients with application of Er, Cr: YSGG laser. Children aged 7–14 years of age with alteast one grossly decayed permanent molar indicated for extraction were included in the study. 60 teeth were randomly divided in two group– one receiving conventional treatment with post extraction pressure pack gauze and one receiving Er, Cr: YSGG laser bandage treatment. A post operative assessment was done by WBFPRS and Wound healing index for post operative pain and wound healing respectively on 24 h, 3rd, 7th and 14th day follow up. Er, Cr: YSGG laser bandage group showed statistically significant difference in both post operative pain and wound healing on follow ups. The study shows that application of laser bandage can be done in post operative extraction sockets to alleviate wound healing, decreasing post operative pain and discomfort.
