Abstract
Aim: The present study was conducted to assess the role of vitamin C in wound healing following dental implant surgery. Materials and Methods: 60 patients receiving dental implants were divided into two groups of 30 each. group A and group B. Group A included 30 patients who underwent dental implant surgery along with vitamin C supplementation, 500 mg twice a day post-surgery for 5 days and group B included 30 patients who underwent dental implant surgery alone. The Wound Healing Index, Wound Evaluation score and Visual Analog Scale were the following indices evaluated. Results: The results of the present study showed that there was a significant improvement in all indices in both group A and group B, but results in group A were statistically more significant than group B and indicating that maximum healing was seen in the first 7 days post-operative, thereafter, remaining more or less the same. In reference to vitamin C for pain relief, there was no statistically difference between the study groups. Conclusion: Using vitamin C supplementation post-operative healing following dental implant surgery in patients given vitamin C. However, vitamin C supplementation does not decrease the post operative pain associated with dental pain and anxiety.
