Active clinical trials for "Tooth, Impacted"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between two point distance measurements performed by surgeon on patients face with foldable ruler, which is the most commonly used method, and the subjective scoring will be done by the patient with the help of the edema scale, for measuring edema.

Aim of the study is to evaluate the swelling following the osteotomy when performed with drilling bur versus piezo-electric instrument in the mandibular impacted third molar extraction, using a facial reconstruction software

Many factors cause third molars to stay impacted in the jaws, hence the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth occurs often in dental clinics. Pain, trismus, and edema are typical postoperative complications following third molar surgery. Various strategies have been developed to prevent or reduce these postoperative complications, Among these is the use of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), which demonstrates numerous benefits in lowering pain, trismus, and edema by managing inflammation. The precise biological mechanism of action remains unknown. There seems to be evidence that it may have neuro-pharmacological impacts on the production, metabolism, and release of a number of biological compounds, the other option is use of ozone which has antimicrobial effectiveness (viricidal, bactericidal, and fungicidal). Additional well-known advantages include immunological modulatory and stimulating actions, including anti-inflammatory, biosynthetic, anti-hypoxic, and bioenergetic characteristics. Ozone can interact with blood components in the right amounts to positively impact oxygen metabolism and cell energy while also triggering antioxidant defense mechanisms

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polybutester sutures on postoperative complications in lower impacted third molar surgery.

Some undesirable complications such as pain, swelling, trismus, paresthesia, hematoma, infection and, albeit rare, fractures may occur after lower impacted wisdom tooth surgery. More effective wound closure methods with fewer complications have positive effects on postoperative recovery. Suturing is the most commonly used wound closure technique after lower impacted wisdom tooth surgery. Suturing, which is the last step of the operation, contributes to wound healing in order to reposition and stabilize the tissue components and to control bleeding. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silk and polyester sutures used in wound closure techniques, which are frequently used in lower impacted wisdom teeth surgery.

The removal of third molars should be considered to avoid problems such as cysts and other complications. Surgical intervention with the manipulation of oral tissues has the undesirable postoperative effects of pain, trismus (limited mouth opening) and edema. Photobiomodulation has also proved effective regarding reductions in pain, edema and trismus. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation for the conditioning of tissues involved in the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars in terms of reducing or eliminating postoperative pain, trismus and edema.

The extraction of third molars, a frequent treatment in clinical dental practice, can lead patients to painful symptoms during and after surgery. The dental surgeon must correctly indicate the need for extraction and also provide patients who need this treatment greater comfort and control of pain in the trans and postoperative period. Thus, it is necessary to use an effective local anesthetic favoring the factors inherent to the postoperative and achieving good treatment results.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Valeriana officinalis L. 100 mg in single oral doses one hour preoperative as conscious sedation during the impacted lower 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.

Articaine is a common local anesthetic used in oral surgery and belongs to the amide group of it has fast onset with little side effects. Bupivacaine is preferred in prolonged surgical procedures with its long duration of action and residual analgesic effect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anesthetic, analgesic, hemodynamic effects of 4% articaine and 0.5% bupivacaine in extraction of impacted mandibular third molar teeth in intraoperative and postoperative periods. Hemodynamic parameters, onset of anesthetic action, total amount, intraoperative comfort, intraoperative bleeding, duration of postoperative anesthesia and analgesia, rescue analgesic use, maximum incisal opening and postoperative pain at 6th, 12th, 24th, 48th and 72th hours and 7th day using a visual analogue scale be evaluated.
