Clinical Trial Summary

this study evaluates the effect of cold application after impacted third molar extractions. Patients have bilateral impacted third molar tooth included in this study. Patients do not applied cold after extraction of third molar on one side and applied cold cold after extraction of third molar on the other side.

Description:

Extraction of impacted teeth causes a trauma which results in an inflammatory response. Some postoperative symptoms may occur such as edema, pain, limitations in mouth opening and dysfunction as a consequence of the wisdom tooth extraction surgery.

Local cold application reduces the magnitude of postoperative symptoms. The physiological effects of cold application are as follows: vasoconstriction of blood vessels, blood flow to the region decreases, edema and inflammation decreases, slowdown in cell metabolism and a decrease in local oxygen demand due to the vasoconstriction effect of the cold. Cold therapy also induces muscle constriction which reduces muscle stress, pain and inflammation.
