Özet:

 


Objectives: The aim of
this placebo-controlled study was to assess the efficacy of single dose
homeopathic Arnica montana 200 CH in
dental surgeries. 


Methods: The study
included 79 patients undergoing wisdom teeth extractions, implant placements,
cystectomies, augmentation procedures, alveoloplasties, lefort-1 osteotomies at
Istanbul Medipol University’s Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The
patients were randomly divided into two groups using a computer program. Three globulesof
Arnica montana 200 CH were
administered in the sublingual area in the patients group 1, and glucose
globules were administered in the sublingual area in the patients into group 2.
After each patient’s surgical operation, the surgeoncompleted a survey about
operation time and scope. In addition,a self-assessment survey was completed by
the patients the day after their operationsto evaluate their post-operational
swelling and pain. 


Results: Arnica montana did not appear to significantly prevent post-operative swelling and
pain when compared to the placebo (p <
0.05). 









Conclusions: This study
showed that the use of Arnica montana before
a physically traumatic procedure is not more effective than the use of a
placebo. However, the results should be evaluated in other studies, including
the administration of Arnica montana after
a physically traumatic procedure to clearly demonstrate its homeopathic
efficiency.
