The use of a tetracycline drain reduces alveolar osteitis: a randomized prospective trial of third molar surgery under local anesthetics and without the use of systemic antibiotics

“…After statistical analysis and appropriate adjustments, the difference in AO between the drain and control groups could not be explained by any other factor than the drain itself (p<0.001). Comparing our results with reported AO incidence in other studies (Blum 2002, Coulthard et al 2014, the incidence of AO in the drain group is very low, and within the reported range in the control group (Kolokythas et al 2010). 3,10,2 To the best of our knowledge, apart from Akota et al (1998), no other study has evaluated the effect of a tetracycline impregnated drain in 3MS, or local application of tetracycline without the addition of SAB.…”

“…15,16 At the time of the present applied and tested, but the majority of studies included in these reviews have used SAB in conjunction with surgery, thus highly biasing the results. 10,17,18 The results from our study, in which no SAB was used, show a very low incidence of AO and a low overall postoperative morbidity. Rodríguez Sánchez et al (2017) concluded that use of CHX regardless of formulation, concentration or regimen was effective in reducing AO after 3MS.…”

Extraction of a severely impacted mandibular third molar using a sagittal split osteotomy – a case report

“…This case report highlights an alternative treatment option for removal of a lower right third molar. Removal of third molars is among the most frequently undertaken procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery (Coulthard et al, 2014). However, the technique suggested in this case report is undertaken far less frequently, as more conservative measures are usually sufficient.…”

Comparación de Dos Diseños de Colgajo en la Exodoncia de Terceros Molares Mandibulares Impactados. Un Ensayo Clínico Controlado Aleatorizado Paralelo a Ciego Simple

“…En la literatura se ha descrito el efecto de los diferentes diseños de colgajos sobre los efectos postoperatorios en exodoncias de terceros molares (Ten Bosch & van Gool, 1977;van Gool et al, 1977;Jakse et al, 2002;Suarez-Cunqueiro et al, 2003;Kirk et al), llegándose a concluir que los diseños de los colgajos juegan un papel muy importante en la exodoncia de terceros molares mandibulares impactados y que una excelente incisión proporciona una suficiente visión quirúrgica para la osteotomía y la odontosección (Coulthard et al, 2014;Chen et al, 2017).…”
