Filter by:Surgical removal of impacted third molars is one of the most frequent procedures carried out in the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics. There are a varying range of postoperative complications including pain, edema and swelling. Antibiotics, analgesics and mouthwashes are usually prescribed for the treatment of these complications. Patients undergoing impacted third molar surgery are frequently prescribed chlorhexidine mouthwashes with/without benzydamine hydrochloride. However, to preclude the adverse effects of these chemical agents, there has been a search for plant-derived alternatives with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and analgesic properties as part of the oral care routine following surgical removal of impacted third molars. However, there is no study investigating the comparison of different essential oils in the literature. Thus, this multicenter study was aimed to evaluate the effects of St. John's wort oil and virgin olive oil on the postoperative complications and compared with chlorhexidine gluconate plus benzydamine hydrochloride mouthwash after the removal of impacted wisdom teeth.This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of St. John's wort oil, virgin olive oil, and chlorhexidine gluconate plus benzydamine hydrochloride on the postoperative complications after the removal of impacted wisdom teeth.
Background: Prevention of periodontal defects after the extraction of lower third molars remains a challenge. Various methods have been proposed in the literature, but there are no studies which evaluated the effectiveness of amelogenins. Methods: A single-blind split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) was performed on 5 patients to verify if amelogenins had some benefits in improving lower second molar periodontal healing after adjacent third molar extraction. A PPD ≥ 8 mm associated with a radiographic bone defect of at least 5 mm were the main inclusion criteria.
The aim of the study is to evaluate, wheather the sedation or general anesthesia in third molar extractions influence the patient's psycho-emotional status. It is believed that the type of anesthesia may influence not only the psycho-emotional status after the procedure, but also before the procedure.
The primary objective of this study was to compare between the lingually based triangular flap with the buccally based triangular flap in the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.
The aim of this prospective study was to assess the effectiveness of concentrated growth factors (CGFs) in preventing the development of alveolar osteitis (AO) after the extraction of partially-erupted mandibular third molars. This study was designed as a randomized controlled clinical trial. In each case, one socket received CGFs and the other served as a control. The predictor variable was the CGFs application and the sides were categorized as 'CGFs' and 'non-CGFs'. The outcome variable was the development of AO during the first postoperative week. Also, demographic variable included age and gender was noted.
The investigator's purpose was to compare the effects of the surgical drain and kinesiologic tape applications on postoperative morbidity after mandibular third molar surgery.
During mandibular 3rd molar (wisdom tooth) extractions, when a downward force is placed on the patient's jaw, the patient must tense his/her jaw muscles to oppose it. Patients under moderate/deep sedation or general anesthesia cannot tense their muscles to counter this downward force to prevent injury to the jaw including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Bite blocks hold the patient's mouth open but do not counter this downward force on the mandible. Currently, oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs) when surgically removing 3rd molars (wisdom teeth) with moderate/deep sedation or general anesthesia have a dental assistant that stands behind the chair and places their hands on both sides of the jaw to support it and oppose the downward force on the patient's jaw during the extractions. It is hard for the dental assistant to maintain support while anticipating the direction and amount of force placed by the OMS on the patient's jaw during the surgical removal. This may explain the finding that almost a quarter of new onset TMD cases in young adults is associated with 3rd molar removal. This study will look at the use of a jaw support device to provide a stable counterforce to downward forces on the jaw, thus preventing jaw hyperextension and injury to the jaw.
The third molars are the teeth that are most frequently included and impacted, extraction is one of the most performed treatments by maxillofacial surgeons in their clinical practice. Its surgical extraction is accompanied by an inflammatory process, which generates pain, edema and trismus. The use of alternatives that offer prolonged analgesia, like the use of bupivacaine, reduce the pain of the patient after an extraction of third molars, allows the reduction of morbidity and the rapid return to daily activities. In addition, it allows a better experience in the dental consultation. Investigators hypothesis is: Irrigation of the alveolus with 4 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine is effective for the reduction of post-operative pain in extraction of impacted lower third molars
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on soft tissue healing and postoperative side effects following third molar surgery. This study was designed on 60 patients as a randomized single-blind clinical trial. The predictor variable was the implementation of CGF fibrin matrix, which was categorized as CGF and non-CGF. The primary outcome variable of the study was the healing of soft tissue around the extraction socket. The secondary outcome variables were pain, swelling and trismus. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Brunner and Langer model. Statistical significance was set at P < .001.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of povidone iodine (PVP-I) on postoperative swelling and trismus when used as a coolant and irrigation solution during the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.
