Effect of Honey Dressing on Inflammatory Response of Human Dental Pulp after Pulpotmy
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Honey has been used as a medicine since ages. In different studies it has been rediscovered by medical professionals in recent times for treatment of burns, infected wounds, and ulcers because of its high antibacterial, anti-inflammatory antiseptic and antioxidant qualities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inflammatory cell response of human dental pulp with honey dressings after pulpotomy. Materials and Methods: Twenty four teeth from twelve patients to be extracted due to orthodontic reasons were selected. These teeth were divided into two groups and treated with honey and calcium hydro-oxide (Control group) dressings after pulpotomy. Honey was used for 12 teeth and other 12 teeth were given calcium hydro-oxide after pulpotomy. Teeth of six patients were extracted after one week and the other six after four weeks. They were prepared for histological evaluation. Results: In control group 3 teeth showed inflammatory cell response in grade 1, but 9 (calcium hydro-oxide) teeth showed inflammatory cell response in grade 2. In honey group 5 teeth showed inflammatory cell response in grade 1, and 7 teeth in grade 2. Conclusion: Honey can be used as alternative to conventional dressing material such as calcium hydroxide dressing after pulpotomy of human dental pulp.
