Purpose: Haemocoagulase is a topical haemostatic agent which provides the adequate haemostasis after minor oral surgical procedures and it has also been proved to be beneficial in promoting wound healing. The aim of this study was to check the efficacy of haemocoagulase in stopping the bleeding and its effect over wound healing after the minor oral surgical procedure. Material & Method: This study is comprised of 150 surgical sites in 75 patients. The subjects were divided into 2 groups in which Group 1 consists of 50 surgical sites in 25 patients and Group II consists of 100 surgical sites in 50 patients. Group I comprised of the group of simple extraction. In these patients one tooth socket was selected as haemocoagulase site and the other socket was the control group in which no drug was used to control haemorrhage. Group II comprised of the group of patients with bilateral impactions. 50 sockets and surgical sites were sprinkled with Haemocoagulase, and 50 sockets and surgical sites were used as control side in which no drug was used to control haemorrhage. Results: In Group I bleeding was stopped with the average time of 1.35 minutes, while at control side bleeding was stopped with the average time of 2.25 minutes. In Group II bleeding was stopped with average time for haemostasis being 1.46 minutes, while at control side the bleeding was stopped in an average time of 2.43 minutes. Conclusion: Haemocoagulase after minor oral surgery not only provides faster haemostasis but also enhances healing.

Introduction: Secondary bone grafting of maxilla and residual alveolar clefts at the stage of transitional dentition was first introduced by Boyne and Sands. The aim of this prospective case control study was to clinically and radiologically evaluate the success rate of anterior iliac crest graft in primary alveolar cleft. Methods and Material: In this study we evaluated 10 patients who underwent secondary alveolar bone grafting for various types of cleft palate with autologous iliac crest graft. Type of septum measured radiologically was taken as the outcome measure. Results: Postoperative radiographic evaluation revealed Type I inter alveolar septum in 7 cases (87.5%), with complete unilateral cleft lip, palate and alveolus. Non-eruption of canine occurred in 5 patients (50%). Periodontal Examination revealed presence of pocket formation (less than 4 mm) and Grade II mobility in 2 cases (20%). Conclusions: In conclusion, secondary alveolar bone grafting done during the time of transitional dentition, before the eruption of permanent canine is an excellent treatment modality.
