View clinical trials related to Molar, Third.
Filter by:Lower third molar extraction is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in dentistry. Common sequelae, including pain, swelling and trismus, can severely affect patients' quality of life during the immediate postoperative period. The aim of this randomized-controlled trial is to clinically evaluate the reduction of lower third molar extraction-related complications, such as swelling and pain, and wound healing, following submucosal infiltration of injectable platelet rich fibrin.
Objective: To investigate the effects of single session dual wavelength low dose laser therapy to be applied after third molar tooth extraction on postoperative pain, edema and physical activities. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients who applied for the extraction of a Class III and position B lower impacted wisdom tooth were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups as laser and control group. Envelope selection method was used for randomization of patients. After the surgery, a single session of double wavelength low-dose laser therapy was applied to the patients. On the 2nd and 7th postoperative days, pain was measured with the VAS scale, edema was measured by face measurements of 3 different points, and quality of life was measured with the modified Posse scale.
Surgical removal of third molars is recognized as one of the most frequent procedures performed in oral surgery. Literature is rich in studies attempting to demonstrate the benefit of corticosteroids in third molar surgery, however the variety of methods, doses, routes and timing of administration has hampered the standardization of their use in light of best evidence. Also the use of 3D facial superimposition methodology to measure and analyze facial swelling after third molar surgery is a relatively new and promising technology.
Third molar extraction is one of the most performed surgical procedures in Dentistry. A comfortable postoperative period and rapid return to daily activities increase the need to control the inflammatory response and its signs and symptoms such as pain, edema, and lockjaw. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the prophylactic use of Photobiomodulation in the reduction of edema in the postoperative period of extractions of retained lower third molars.The primary study variable will be postoperative edema measured in millimeters, 48 hours after surgery, and the secondary variables will be: pain, lockjaw, local temperature (measured with a thermographic camera), dysphagia, and the need to ingest nonsteroidal analgesics (Acetaminophen)These variables will be evaluated at the beginning of the study (baseline), at 2 and 7 days post-surgery. All adverse effects will be recorded. The data obtained will be represented by their means ± SD and the p value will be set at 0.05.
The goal of the clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of ibuprofen, ketamine, and their combination in managing postoperative pain and trismus following third molar surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: which is the best way to control pain and trismus after third molar surgery?
On many occasions, clinicians find situations in which they have to perform extractions of erupted or semi-erupted third molars or wisdom teeth where there are pre-existing periodontal pockets distal to the second molars, caused by a bone defect due to periodontal disease or due to malposition of the wisdom tooth concerning the second molar. After the extraction of an erupted or semi-included third molar, and as a consequence of factors related to dental malposition or bone defects caused by periodontal disease, periodontal pockets can arise on the distal surface of the second molar. When such exodontia is performed conventionally without raising a flap or applying any suturing technique in which there is a primary closure of the wound, there is a greater probability of persistence of periodontal pockets; and, in the worst case, they may increase after healing and closure of the alveolus. The consequence would be the formation of an enlarged and unattached tissue on the distal aspect of the second molar. The fact that periodontal pockets persist acts as an unfavorable prognostic factor. The predictive power of subsequent periodontal destruction increases since these are areas where bacteria will continue to accumulate (etiological factor of periodontal disease), and where the patient will not be able to access for their elimination and control. This is why a surgical technique called "distal wedge" has been proposed to eliminate these pockets. To avoid this second surgical procedure, we propose a procedure immediately after the conventional exodontic technique; where after performing a small gingivectomy and lifting a mucoperiosteal flap based on periodontal respective surgery concepts, primary closure of the alveolus and repositioning of the flaps at the level of the bone crest is achieved, eliminating these pre-existing pockets. This requires the existence of sufficient keratinized gingiva to maintain a band of at least 2 mm of keratinized tissue after the gingivectomy, thus ensuring a correct adherent tissue that provides sealing and proper maintenance of the periodontal tissues around the tooth. The proposed technique has been termed a "distal reduction flap" (DRF).
This single-arm prospective study will enroll a minimum of 7 and a maximum 10 subjects between the ages of 7 and 13 years of age with radiographic evidence of mandibular 3rd molar tooth bud development without enamel formation. Each subject will undergo a 3TBA procedure for each qualifying mandibular 3rd molar tooth buds. Each subject will receive treatment for qualifying mandibular tooth buds during the same session. Subjects will be followed for a minimum of 12 weeks post treatment.
Single-center, double-blind, randomized trial of probiotics L. plantarum KABP-051 (CECT7481) and L. brevis KABP-052 (CECT7480) taken twice daily for 7 days after surgical removal of both mandibular 3rd molars. Patients were assessed for surgery-derived complications in a follow-up visit 7 days after surgery, and provided daily evaluations of pain, swelling and eating difficulty in a patient diary.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the different gene haplotypes for the clinical efficacy of tenoxicam after third lower molar surgery for pain, edema and trismus, adverse reactions, need of rescue medication, patient satisfaction regarding the drug and the pharmacokinetics of the drug between the different gene haplotypes for CYP2C9 that are found in this population
The extraction of deep impacted mandibular third molar may cause periodontal defects at the distal root of the second molar. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in preventing periodontal complications at the distal root of the second molar adjacent to the extracted third molar.
