Abstract
The objective of the study was to compare the treatment outcomes after intraoral drainage with and without penrose drain due to odontogenic space infection in vestibular space,perimandibular space, and canine space. The study was performed in 60 patients with odontogenic space infection (vestibular space, perimandibular space, and canine space) which were divided into 2 groups. In the control group, the intraoral drainage was done using a penrose drain.In the test group, the intraoral drainage was performed without use of a penrose drain. The post-operative pain, swelling, trismus, and other complications were evaluated on 2nd and 7th post-operative days.
For the results, the test group showed less pain as compared to the control group, with the pain variable was statistically different on 2nd postoperative day (p < 0.05). However, swelling and trismus were not statistically different. For conclusion, treatment outcomes after intraoral drainage between 2 groups showed no significant difference. However, without drain, the patients had less postoperative pain on 2nd postoperative day.
