“…Thus, surgical removal of impacted third molar is the most frequently performed procedure [1]. Impacted lower third molar extraction produces a series of side effects, which include pain, inflammation, and trismus [2].Flap design is one important factor which influences the severity of these complications [3]. Flap design is important, not only for allowing optimal visibility and access to the impacted tooth, but also for subsequent healing of the surgically created defect.…”

Objectives: To compare standard incision and comma shaped incision and its influence on post operative complications in surgical removal of impacted third molar.Methods: This was a cross-over trial. Twenty subjects with bilateral impacted mandibular third molars were recruited for the study. A standard incision was made on one side of the lower jaw and a comma incision was made on the other side to reflect the mucoperiosteal flap, after which the common steps for removal of impacted third molars were followed. The postoperative parameters were recorded immediately on the post -operative days 1, 3 and 7 respectively. Results:The pain scores which were recorded on days 1, 3 and 7 in the surgical area with comma incisions were found to be significantly lower as compared to the pain scores in the area where standard incisions were made. Similarly, swelling was lesser with comma incisions than with standard incisions. There was a significant difference in mouth opening between the two incisions on day 1, but no significance was seen on days 3 and 7. All these findings showed significant statistical differences. Conclusion:The results of the study showed that the new incision design was preferable over the conventional method, considering the lesser degree of post-operative complications. The cross-over design of the study greatly enhanced its statistical power and validity. InTROduCTIOnThird molars are present in 90% of the population with 33% having at least one impacted third molar. Thus, surgical removal of impacted third molar is the most frequently performed procedure [1]. Impacted lower third molar extraction produces a series of side effects, which include pain, inflammation, and trismus [2].Flap design is one important factor which influences the severity of these complications [3]. Flap design is important, not only for allowing optimal visibility and access to the impacted tooth, but also for subsequent healing of the surgically created defect. With so many objectives, the actual design of a flap sometimes becomes a compromise between peri-and post-operative considerations [4].The aim of this study was to compare two different flap designs in extraction of impacted mandibular third molars, by assessing their post-operative complications. In this study, pain, swelling, mouth opening and pocket depth were selected as parameters for comparing the two flap designs. MATeRIAl And MeThOdSThis study was a hospital based, experimental study with a "cross-over" design, which was done on thirty patients. Patients with bilateral, completely impacted, mandibular third molars or partially erupted third molars, without any symptoms of pain or swelling, who had good oral hygiene, were included in the study. Dentistry SectionPatients who were on any medications, lady patients who were pregnant, patients with severe pericoronitis, patients with soft tissue impaction and patients who were medically compromised were excluded from study.Thirty patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study aft...

“…Extensive research has been conducted in an attempt to alleviate or even totally eliminate such problems by using different extraction methods or varying postoperative medical treatment; however, an adequate solution has yet to be found. [11][12][13][14][15][16] Postoperative complications such as pain, swelling, trismus and bleeding vary depending upon the medical condition and age of the patient. [17,18,19,20] In order to prevent differences arising from such factors and ensure standardization, the population of this study was comprised of healthy, young individuals who had fully completed their growth and who had impacted teeth of similar severity.…”

Aim: Pain and swelling following surgery for impacted third molars can be controlled by various methods. This study compared the analgesic and anti-inflammatory efficacy and tolerability of lornoxicam, aspirin and a placebo with and without conscious sedation in impacted mandibular third-molar surgery. Materials and Methods: 60 patients undergoing third-molar surgery were divided into 2 groups of conscious sedation and routine local anesthesia (n=30). Both groups were divided into three subgroups (n=10) that received either Lornoxicam, aspirin, or a placebo postoperatively. Results: In both the conscious sedation and local anesthesia groups, swelling reduction was significantly greater with Lornoxicam compared to aspirin and placebo (p< .05). Pain values were significantly lower for Lornoxicam group compared to both aspirin and placebo groups at 6, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively (p< .05). Conclusion: Conscious sedation resulted less pain and swelling. Moreover, Lornoxicam was found to be an effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent for use in conjunction with oral surgery.
