ï¶CONCLUSION:
ï¶Although case reports suggest therapeutic
potential of Hypericum for pain conditions in
dental care, this effect is not currently supported
by clinical studies. All studies included in this
meta-analysis used Arnica montana as well as
Hypericum the results are more influenced by
Arnica than Hypericum. Further clinical
controlled trials of Hypericum alone in dental
practice should be performed.

17. Hypericum
ï¶ METHODS:
ï¶ Fifty-four male healthy White Wistar rats were divided into three experimental groups (n =
18), randomly: Sham-operation (Sham), control: silicon tube (Sil) and treatment: silicon tube +
Hypericum (Sil/Hypericum). In the Sham group after anesthesia left sciatic nerve was exposed
through a gluteal muscle incision and after homeostasis muscle was sutured. In the Sil group the
left sciatic nerve was exposed the same way and transected proximal to tibio-peroneal bifurcation
leaving a 10-mm gap. Proximal and distal stumps were each inserted into a silicone tube. In the
Sil/Hypericum group a silicone tube was implanted the same way and each animal received three
oral drops of Hypericum 30c twice daily for 1 week. Each group was subdivided into three
subgroups of six animals each studied 4, 8, 12 weeks after surgery.
ï¶ RESULTS:
ï¶ Data were analyzed statistically by factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) and, the Bonferroni test
for pair-wise comparisons. Functional study showed faster and better recovery of regenerated
axons in Sil/Hypericum than in Sil group (P < 0.05). Gastrocnemius muscle mass in Sil/Hypericum
was significantly greater than in Sil group. Morphometric indices of regenerated fibers showed
number and diameter of the myelinated fibers in Sil/Hypericum were significantly higher than in
control group. Immunohistochemistry, showed the location of reactions to S-100 in Sil/Hypericum
.
was clearly more positive than in Sil group

ï¶ OBJECTIVE:
ï¶ To assess the effect of Symphytum 5CH on the postoperative pain and
swelling after placement of a titanium dental implant

25. Symphytum 5CH
ï¶CONCLUSIONS:
ï¶Adding Symphytum 5CH to conventional
analgesia may reduce pain and swelling
after minor dental implant surgery. No firm
conclusion can be drawn since the results
are confounded by baseline
differences, principally gender.
Further, randomized, studies should be
conducted.
