Keypoints
- Open oral surgical wounds have obvious pain characteristics and
prolonged duration of healing with few alternative choices of
analgesia
- Sucralfate has cytoprotective effect to open wound bed creating
optimal healing environment and regulates necessary cytokines in
reepithelialization phase
- Significant mean change of VAS score from baseline in the Sucralfate
group at day3 and day7 postoperation were observed
- Distribution of wound grade and mean change of wound length were the
same in both Sucralfate and control group
- Sucralfate suspension oral rinse can be recommended as an effective
topical analgesic solution in open intraoral wound with no significant
healing interference
