Dr. Jyotsna, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Jha

Abstract :

Background : A prospective clinical study was conducted to compare the efficacy of electrosurgery and scalpel surgery in minor oral surgical procedures. Materials and methods : Thirty patients underwent incision with electrosurgery and steel scalpel for bilateral pre–prosthetic surgeries and bilaterally symmetrical impacted lower third molar surgeries under local anesthesia. All the cases were evaluated for – bleeding and incisional time intra–operatively as well as pain and healing of the surgical site post–operatively. Result : The bleeding was significantly less (p < 0.001) for electrosurgery than that of scalpel surgery . The mean time taken was less for electrosurgery) than that of scalpel surgery and this difference was statistically significant ( p=0.015 ). Conclusion : The bleeding and time taken for incision were significantly less in electrosurgery as compared to scalpel surgery. The pain and healing were comparable in both the groups
