Filter by: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.
The objective of this case-control intervention study is to explore the effectiveness of Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) and Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) on Pain, Edema and Trismus After Impacted Lower Third Molar Surgery
In this study, it was aimed to investigating and comparing the postoperative effects of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) in terms of pain, swelling on the cheek, and trismus after mandibular third molar surgery. The study included a total of 27 patients with bilateral impacted mandibular third molar which surgically operated at different times. Patients were evaluated in two randomly separated groups. For the first group; A-PRF and for the second group; L-PRF was applied into the tooth socket. The outcomes variables were; pain, swelling, the number of analgesics taken, and trismus. These variables were also assessed on the basis of; 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th days following the operation.
To compare the efficacy of intramuscular injection of two anti-inflammatory drugs, Traumeel and Dexamethasone, used in the control of postoperative complications pain, edema and trismus after third molar extraction mandibular
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of acupuncture and placebo acupuncture for the control of pain, edema, and trismus following the extraction of third molars and control of preoperative anxiety. Patients who met the study criteria were randomized to the type of acupuncture (active acupuncture or placebo acupuncture) and to the side of the first surgery (right or left).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ozonated water on pain, edema and trismus after third molar removal. Patients were submitted to extraction of lower third molar under irrigation with ozonated water or doubly distilled water. Data were collected at baseline, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after intervention.
This study compares the effect of two types of suturing techniques in the postoperative swelling and mouth opening after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar. total wound closure will be performed in one group of participants while partial closure will be performed in the other group.
If the patients's teeth are weak or the mouth dose not open well, the lightwand is a useful device when endotracheal intubation is necessary. Therefore, if the appropriate position of the light beam is determined and the distance of the light source suitable for intubation using the lightwand is obtained from anatomical structures such as thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage, it is clinically useful. Because it can prevent unnecessary deep insertion or shallow insertion that can cause damage to anatomical structures during intubation.
In dentistry, one of the most common surgical procedures is the removal of included third molars. This surgery generates great morbidity to patients for causing pain, edema and trismus due to surgical trauma. The use of photobiomodulation (PBM) (low-power laser or light emitting diode - LED) in the postoperative of these procedures has shown excellent results in the control of postoperative sequelae. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PBM with LED in the control of pain, facial edema, trismus and quality of life resulting from the extraction of retained lower third molars. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 34 adult patients, who search the Discipline of Buccomaxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology (CTBMF) II of FO-UFRGS for the removal of included lower third molars will be conducted. Before and after the surgeries, the facial and mouth opening measurements of all patients will be done. Immediately after the surgeries, the patients will be randomized by means of envelopes in two groups. In the LED group the patients will receive daily LED applications (intra oral with 660nm and extra oral with 850nm) from the immediate postoperative to 7 days after the surgical procedure. In the control group the patients will be treated in the same way as in the LED group, however, the person in charge of the application will simulate intraoral and extraoral irradiation with the LED kept off. Pain (EVA and NRS-101), postoperative edema, trismus, temperature, dysphagia and hematomas, as well as the impact of the surgical procedure on patients' quality of life will be evaluated after 1, 2, 5 and 7 days. For the analysis of the oral health impact profile (OHIP-14 Questionnaire) and anxiety analysis (Beck anxiety inventory -BAI) the questionnaires will be applied preoperatively and 7 days after treatment. Initial descriptive analyzes will be performed considering all variables measured in the study, both quantitative (mean and standard deviation) and qualitative (frequencies and percentages). Later, the appropriate statistical tests will be applied for each specific analysis. In all tests, the significance level of 5% probability or the corresponding p-value will be adopted. All analyzes will be performed using the statistical software SAS for Windows, version 9.1.3.
The objectives of this pilot study are to determine the effectiveness of a manual therapy (MT) protocol plus the use of a dynamic jaw opening device on the maximal interincisor distance; on trismus symptoms; on pain-disability outcomes and on the quality of life, anxiety, and depression in subjects with trismus. The proposed pilot study will comprise a single subject design with multiple baseline measures and during treatment phases to determine the effectiveness of the treatment protocol. A minimum sample of 10 subjects will be recruited. The Health Research Ethics Board of Alberta Cancer Committee will approve this study. Participants will receive a MT protocol plus exercises and the use of the DTS device for 8 weeks. The first two weeks of treatment will involve only MT and opening exercises.After this initial 2 weeks, the DTS will be introduced. The participants will receive a session of 30-45 minutes of MT three/two times per week, for 8 weeks. All participants will be instructed how to use the Dynasplint® Trismus System at home. Analyses: Visual analyses will be performed on participant before, during, and after the intervention. The 2-standard deviation band method will be used to analyze the behavior of each participant on the outcome of interest before, during, and after the treatment. The minimally important difference levels in order to determine clinical relevance will be done. Two effect size indexes will be used: the percentage of non-overlapping data, and the percentage of improvement rate difference.
