ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Aim: The aim of the current clinical trial is to evaluate the soft tissue trauma and to assess which forceps has caused less damage to the interdental bone and the extraction has been done In-Toto. Materials and methods: The study population included 30 patients who had been referred to oral and maxillofacial surgery department at Saveetha dental college Chennai for therapeutic extraction. The patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups: group 1, extraction of premolars using conventional premolar forceps; and group 2, extraction of premolars using atraumair premolar forceps. It is a comparative split mouth study. Primarily fracture rate of upper premolar root was assessed by comparing these two forceps. In addition, the pain intensity levels for each patient were recorded during the application of forceps using VAS pain assessment tool. Results: A total 30 patients participated in the study, of which 16 were females and 14 were males, the age distribution was in between 11-26years. Participants were divided into two groups. Being a split mouth study same participant had application of two different forceps on either side of the quadrant. All the participants had their upper and lower 1st premolars extracted. There was a significant difference in pain control of the two treatment groupswith a p value of 0.007654 .Statistically analysis showed that there were significant differences between control and treatment groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, atraumatic premolar forceps had significantly shown better results in VAS scale compared to that of universal conventional premolar forceps. And clinically there was less to too little tissue damage noted where atraumatic premolar forceps were used for extraction.
