Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of ozonated olive oil gel in bone and soft tissue healing and prevention of alveolitis when applied within the socket after surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molars.

Who can participate?
Healthy adults with symmetrically impacted mandibular third molars on both sides

What does the study involve?
In this prospective split-mouth study, 36 extractions will be performed in 18 patients. On one side, the socket will be primarily (control side) sutured, and on the other side, ozonated olive oil gel will be inserted before suturing. The patients will be assessed for postoperative bone regeneration, soft tissue healing alveolitis and periodontal integrity of the mandibular second molar.

The primary outcome will be bone regeneration, which is measured through tomographic evaluation 6 weeks and 3 months after the procedure. The ITK-SNAP software was used for image evaluation by the intensity of grey of each voxel. Soft tissue healing is analysed based on a modified healing index of Landry et al. and by comparing pre-and postoperative periodontal probing at the distal of the lower second molar.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The benefits of participating are the promotion and acceleration of healing of surgical wounds, the promotion of bone regeneration after surgical extraction, and improving the patient's quality of life after surgery. There are no expected risks of participating in this study except for the complications associated with a usual surgical extraction.

Where is the study run from?
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Damascus University (Syria)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
April 2023 to September 2023

Who is funding the study?
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Damascus University (Syria)

Scientific titleEvaluation of the efficacy of topical ozonated olive oil gel on socket healing after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars
Study objectivesOzonated olive oil gel has a good effect on the healing of bone tissue at the site of surgical extraction, healing of soft tissues at the site of surgical extraction, preserving the integrity of the periodontal tissues of the lower second molars after surgical extraction of the impacted lower third molars, and prevention of alveolitis.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 21/03/2023, Scientific Research Ethics Committee in Presidency of Damascus University (Central Directorate of Students Affairs, Damascus University, Baramkeh, Damascus, Syria 22743; +963 11 33923000, +963 11 33923011; verification.dicr@damascusuniversity.edu.sy), ref: DN – 0592
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPromote bone and soft tissues healing and prevent alveolitis after surgical extraction of 3rd mandibular molar
InterventionThis study contains two groups in a split-mouth design (control side, experimental side) in healthy adult patients.
The researcher is responsible for the entire surgical procedure and application of the research material, and the other observer is responsible for study measurements to avoid bias.
The researcher will apply 1 ml of ozonated olive oil gel into the extraction socket of the third mandibular molar on the first side and not apply it to the control side.
Intervention typeSupplement
Primary outcome measure1. Bone density measured using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging and ITK-SNAP software analysis at (t1) 6 weeks and (t2) 3 months after surgery
2. Soft tissue healing measured using Landry's index 7 days after surgery
Secondary outcome measures1. Measurements using a periodontal probe at (t0) before surgery and (t2) 3 months after surgery
1.1. Probing depth (PD)
1.2. Gingival overgrowth (GO)
1.3. Clinical attachment level (CAL)
2. Incidence of alveolitis measured using the Blum index 7 days after surgery
Overall study start date13/03/2023
Completion date10/10/2023
