A comparative study of the postoperative effects of 0.2% hyaluronic acid and 0.2% chlorhexidine + 1% panthenol in tooth extractions performed at the Dr. René Puig Bentz Dental Clinic of the Pedro Henríquez Ureña National University.

The null hypothesis states that: There is no significant difference in efficacy between 0.2% AH
and 0.2% chlorhexidine + 1% panthenol gel in post-surgical treatment; while the alternative
hypothesis states that: 0.2% AH gel is more effective than 0.2% chlorhexidine + 1% panthenol
as an adjunct in the post-surgical process for simple extractions. Data collected from the
alveolar area were compared between AH patients and CH patients. Similarly, the other
variables collected were compared based on the type of compound. The analyses performed
demonstrated that there were no significant differences between the effectiveness of both
compounds, as well as their management of pain, bleeding, and other variables; supporting the
null hypothesis proposed. However, both achieved optimal post-surgical recovery. This means
that both compounds are equally effective in promoting healing, pain control, bleeding
management, and other outcomes in patients following simple extractions.
