Clinical Trial Summary

Removal of impacted lower third molar is considered as the most common surgical procedure carried out in the oral and maxillofacial Clinics. The surgical removal of the impacted mandibular third molar is usually associated with pain, swelling and inability to open the mouth. Those symptoms reach the maximum intensity between the third to fifth hours postoperatively for the pain and 24 to 48 hours postoperatively for the swelling and then, they gradually diminished until the 7th day postoperatively

Description:

Removal of impacted lower third molar is considered as the most common surgical procedure carried out in the oral and maxillofacial Clinics. The surgical removal of the impacted mandibular third molar is usually associated with pain, swelling and inability to open the mouth. Those symptoms reach the maximum intensity between the third to fifth hours postoperatively for the pain and 24 to 48 hours postoperatively for the swelling and then, they gradually diminished until the 7th day postoperatively.

Kinesio taping (KT), also termed ''elastic therapeutic bandage,'' is a popular technique used for the management of postoperative lymphedema after maxillofacial surgery. KT is an elastic therapeutic tape invented by Dr Kase in the 1970s. KT originated from sports medicine and is primarily used to support damaged soft tissues (muscles and joints), helping to reduce pain. KT is considered to regulate the blood and lymph flow and also to remove the congestion of lymphatic fluid or hemorrhage and, thus, has achieved popularity in the control of lymphedema.

Many studies had evaluate the KT technique in reducing the morbidity after surgical removal of third molar. There is a lack of adequate evidence regarding effects of KT techniques versus placebo and the effectiveness of KT with that of other methods and medical agents.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	postoperative swelling	Facial swelling was assessed by a three-line measurement method using a flexible plastic tape measure. The corresponding lines were tragus-alanasi (Tr-An; from the most posterior point of the tragus to the most lateral point of the ala nasi), tragus-commissure (Tr-Co; from the most posterior point of the tragus to the most lateral point of the lip commissure), and tragus-pogonion (Tr-Po; from the most posterior point of the tragus to the pogonion) distances. These measurements were performed with the patient sitting at 90° straight position with physiologic rest position of the mandible.	one week
Secondary	pain	VAS measure	one week
Secondary	Preoperative and postoperative mouth opening	measurement of the maximal distance between the cutting edge of the right maxillary and right mandibular central incisors with a caliper.	one week
