Reso-Pac as an Intraoral Surgical Dressing: A Promising Material for Enhanced Wound Healing and Patient Comfort – A Narrative Review

Intraoral wounds following oral and maxillofacial surgery are susceptible to contamination, mechanical trauma, and thermal sensitivity, which may delay healing and increase postoperative discomfort. Conventional periodontal dressings are commonly used to protect surgical sites but have limitations such as rigidity, moisture absorption, unpleasant taste, and painful removal. Reso-Pac is a cellulose-based, hydrophilic, self-dissolving intraoral dressing containing Commiphora myrrha extract designed to provide temporary protection and support wound healing. This study evaluated the clinical performance, handling characteristics and healing efficacy of Reso-Pac in patients undergoing various oral surgical procedures. Parameters such as tissue adhesion, elasticity, ease of application, thermal protection, postoperative pain, swelling and epithelialization were assessed. Reso-Pac exhibited excellent adhesion, maintained elasticity and disintegrated spontaneously within 18–24 hours, eliminating the need for removal. Patients reported reduced pain and thermal sensitivity. The dressing provided effective protection during early healing with minimal plaque accumulation and no adverse reactions, demonstrating superior patient comfort and handling compared with conventional periodontal dressings.
