Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polybutester sutures on postoperative complications in lower impacted third molar surgery.

Description:

After extraction of the bilateral lower third molars (35 patients), two different types of sutures were used on each side. Group 1( Polybutester suture) , group 2 (Polypropylene suture). Measurements to evaluate edema, trismus, and pain (using the VAS scale) had been taken pre-procedure and post-procedure( 2nd and 7th day )

Primary	Edema evaluation using Facial measurement	The distance between predetermined facial anatomic landmarks (from the mandibular angle to lateral corner of the eye, from tragus to labial commissura, and from tragus to soft tissue pogonion) which was measured with using thread and millimeter ruler.
