The effectiveness of aloe vera extract on socket healing after dental extraction

INTERVENTION: After taking the patient's medical history and evaluating their general health according to the research conditions, written consent will be taken on the content and terms of the research, and research groups will be allocated by coin‐flipping. The study sample will be randomly divided into two groups: group A (aloe vera group, n = 20) and group B (control group, n = 20). All extractions will be performed by one surgeon to standardize the surgical trauma. The premolars will be extracted after making sure that they are indicated. Local anaesthesia will be lidocaine 2% with epinephrine 1/80000. In group A, aloe vera powder will be placed with gel foam with an X suture to stabilize the material inside. In group B gel foam will be placed with the X suture to standardize procedures on both sides. A sterile gauze will be placed and the patient will be asked to keep it for 1 hour to help the powder set. CONDITION: Soft tissue healing and socket preservation after dental extraction ; Oral Health PRIMARY OUTCOME: ; 1. Pain measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) 2 hours after extraction and on the third and seventh day; 2. Healing assessed by the Landry et al. healing index on the third and seventh day; 3. The dimensions of the alveolar bone assessed by cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) immediately after extraction and after 4 months; SECONDARY OUTCOME: The dimensions of the alveolar bone assessed by CBCT after 4 months INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Patients who accepted participation with written consent 2. Adults aged 18‐45 years 3. Patients need bilateral upper or lower premolars extraction
