Study Validates Modified IPR Scale for Assessing Post-Extraction Healing in Gutka Chewers vs. Non-Chewers

Posted: November 20, 2024
The study evaluated post-extraction healing in gutka chewers versus non-gutka chewers using the modified Inflammation Proliferation Remodeling (IPR) scale. Gutka use was found to significantly delay healing during the proliferative and remodelling phases, with longer gutka use correlating with poorer outcomes. The modified IPR scale demonstrated reliability in assessing wound healing progression. This highlights the importance of considering gutka use in patient care planning and underscores the need to discourage gutka consumption for better oral health outcomes.
