description Purpose: This review aimed to determine the efficacy of chitosan in hemostasis and wound healing and its effectiveness in reducing pain and inflammation in the extraction socket compared to the control group without chitosan. Methods: This review was performed through an electronic data search in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Lilacs. A total of 4 randomized clinical trial studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the review. Results: All evaluated studies showed that chitosan significantly improved wound healing of extraction sockets and lead to significant acceleration in the time of hemostasis (p >.001) (p = 0.0278). 70% of evaluated studies found that chitosan significantly reduced postoperative pain (p = 0.0001) (p = 0.002), and 65% showed that chitosan reduced postoperative inflammation. Conclusion: According to the evaluated studies, chitosan was effective in promoting socket healing, as there was a significant difference between the chitosan group and the control group, with substantial improvement in wound healing and hemostasis.
