Abstract

Amaç: Labial frenulum üst dudağı alveoler krete bağlayan bir kas dokusudur. Frenektomi işlemi bu kas dokusunun kaldırılmasını içerir. Frenektomi işlemi sırasında bisturi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen geleneksel cerrahi teknik halen en popüler yöntemdir.Çalışmanın hedefi Hyalüronik Asidin (HA) konvansiyonel frenektomi sonrası etkisini incelemektir.

Yöntemler: Çalışmada yaşları 8-14 arasında değişen 48 genç hasta yer aldı (25 kız-23 erkek). Katılımcılar rastgele olarak 2 gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1: Konvansiyonel Cerrahi ve Steril Salin (SS) (n=24) ve Grup 2: Konvansiyonel Cerrahi+HA (Aftamed, Child Gel 24% HA) (n=24). Katılımcılara ait periodontal parametreler ölçüldükten sonra frenektomi yapıldı. Operasyon sonrası ağrı değerleri bir hafta boyunca günlük olarak 10 puanlık Görsel Analog Skala (VAS) ile değerlendirildi. Frenektomi öncesi Plak İndeksi (Pİ), Gingival İndeks (Gİ), Cep Derinliği (CD), Sondalamada Kanama (SK), Keratinize Diş Eti Genişliği (KDG), Yapışık Diş Eti Kalınlığı (YDK) ölçülüp kaydedildi. Periodontal parametreler 3 ay sonra tekrar ölçülüp değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: GAS (Görsel Analog Skala) skorları değerlendirildi. 1 ve 3. gün arası ve 6. günde HA grubunda ağrı düzeyi daha az olsa da, %0,24 HA jel uygulaması ağrı düzeyinde önemli bir farka yol açmadı (p>0.05). 7. günde ağrı düzeyleri eşitti. Pİ, Gİ, CD, SK, KDG, YDK değerlerinde 3 ay sonunda önemli bir fark yoktu (p>0.05).

Sonuçlar: Bir hafta sonunda topikal HA uygulamasının ağrı düzeyinde önemli bir farka yol açmadığı görüldü. Diğer periodontal parametrelerde üç aylık takip süresince yine HA uygulamasının önemli bir değişime yol açmadığı saptandı.

The impact of 0.24% hyaluronic acid gel on pain level and periodontal status following labial frenectomy

Abstract

Aim: The labial frenum is a mucosal fold that connects the upper lip to the alveolar ridge. Frenectomy involves the surgical removal of a mucosal fold. The traditional surgical technique utilizing a scalpel remains popular for performing a frenectomy. The study aims to examine the effectiveness of applying Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Gel after conventional frenectomy.

Methods: This research comprised 48 young patients (25 girls and 23 boys) aged 8 to 14. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1: Conventional Scalpel Surgery and Sterile Saline (SS) (n=24) and Group 2: Conventional Scalpel Surgery+HA (Aftamed, Child Gel 24% HA) (n=24). After measuring the participants’ periodontal parameters, the frenectomy was performed. Postoperative pain levels were evaluated daily for one week utilizing a 10-point Visual Analog Scale. Before frenectomy, Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Pocket Depth (PD), Bleeding On Probing (BOP), Keratinized Gingival Width (KGW), Attached Gingival Thickness (AGT) values were measured and recorded. The periodontal parameters were assessed and analyzed after a 3-month follow-up period.

Results: VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) was assessed. The application of Although 0.24% HA gel caused less pain from days 1-3.6, there was no significant difference in pain levels between the HA gel and control groups (p>0.05). Pain levels were equal between groups on day 7. No significant changes in PI, GI, PD, BOP, KGW, or AGT values after three months of follow-up (p>0.05).

Conclusions: During the first week after a frenectomy performed with classic scalpel surgery, the application of 0.24% HA gel did not significantly reduce pain levels. It did not result in significant changes in other measured periodontal parameters after three months of follow-up.
