Figure 1 Group A
At day 7 th in histological examination, in the control group (Group A), lamina propia shows severe chronic inflammatory
cell infilteration below the epithelium followed by moderate tissue disruption & marked oedema also reported., (Figure 1 ), In the
group B, we observed poor signs of inflammatory response in the connective tissue ,dense accumulation of relatively well-aligned
new collagen fibers and relatively complete integrity between the epithelial cells . In the group C modeate chronic inflammatory
cell infilteration in the connective tissue with mild tissue disruption. Our result suggested that wounds treated with this novel
periodontal dressing (Placentrix ) has all the gold standard of complete healing one week postoperatively. A histological picture of
H&E stained sections of surgical wound one week post-operatively of Group C shows Mild persisting inflammatory response
with moderate repair parameters,new blood vessels observed ,showing better result than Group A but lesser healing than Group B

The histological picture of surgical site of the control group shows greater inflammatory cells and less collagen fibers
arrangement then (B, C ) Test group shows greater connective tissue formation with more mature collagen ,result in more firm
gingiva .However Placentrix shows mature healing then castor oil group.
VI. CONCLUSION
Now it may concluded that Placentrex is a topical wound healer , safe & cost effective, and may readily applied to promote
wound healing and has superadditive effect as topical analgesic for intra oral surgeries, especially in whom underlying systemic
and local diseases that further delayed healing . Putatively, this relative newly approached remedy with traditional background is
recommended. however further randomized control trial required for observing Magical touch of Mother’s fluid Placentrix &
