ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To assess the efficacy of resveratrol in improving functional outcomes following open reduction and internal fixation of maxillofacial fractures. StudyDesign:
A single-center, randomized, parallel group, prospective, double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 40 patients between the age 20 and 60 years, requiring open reduction and internal fixation of maxillofacial fractures. The selected patients were randomly divided into two groups, Group 1 (placebo) and Group 2 (resveratrol) where tablets resveratrol 500 mg were given twice daily for 1 month following open reduction and internal fixation of fractured segments. Bite force was calculated pre-operatively and on the 1st, 4th, 8th and 12th week postoperatively. Serum markers osteocalcin and alkaline phosphate were calculated pre-operatively and at 4th and 12th week postoperatively.Results:
Bite force (690.55 ± 262.00) in the resveratrol group was higher than the placebo group (553.27 ± 300.08) at 12th week postoperatively. However, the difference was non-significant statistically (p = 0.132). Resveratrol group (116.80 ± 55.25) showed better maintenance of serum ALP level as compared to placebo group (107.90 ± 42.99) at 12th week postoperatively, but again it lacked statistical significance (p = 0.573). Resveratrol group after initial reduction at 4th week showed serum osteocalcin levels nearly equal to the preoperative values at 12th week, while the placebo group showed a decline both at 4th and 12th week postoperatively. However, these results were not statistically significant (p = 0.065).Conclusion:
There was no statistically significant difference in bite force, serum ALP level and serum osteocalcin levels between placebo group and resveratrol group. Though not statistically significant but early increased level of serum osteogenic markers, better restoration of bite force in group 2 (tab. Resveratrol) indicates toward its possible optimistic role in maxillofacial fracture healing. More studies with larger sample sizes are needed in order to confirm the efficacy of this drug in maxillofacial fracture.
