“…In our study, there was no statistically significant difference between groups when the levels of trismus at postoperative 2 and 7 days were compared. We observed that trismus was severe on day 2 in all groups and decreased on day 7, consistent with the results of other studies in the literature (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). Similarly, no statistically significant difference was found between groups in edema at postoperative 2 and 7 days.…”

“…Trismus reaches its maximum level 2 days after extraction and may last for 7-10 days (21). It has been claimed that the duration and severity of this complication varies from patient to patient (17)(18)(19)(20)(21). In our study, there was no statistically significant difference between groups when the levels of trismus at postoperative 2 and 7 days were compared.…”

“…Many studies have suggested that corticosteroids, different anesthetics, pain killers, and anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce the severity of these complications (20,21). It has been claimed that post-extraction pain reaches maximum intensity within 2-4 hours or, according to some studies, within 12 hours, and that the pain level decreases on postoperative day 6 (7-21).…”

“…The mediators released during inflammation target immune and inflammatory cells (35). The severity of complications such as pain, edema, and trismus after extraction is affected by the severity of inflammation at the site of extraction (19)(20)(21). Severe inflammation may increase the development of complications after extraction (19)(20)(21).…”

Severe inflammation may increase the development of complications after extraction (19)(20)(21). In our study, there was no statistical difference in the pain, edema, and trismus values after extraction between the right-handed groups 3 and 4 and the lefthanded groups 1 and 2, suggesting that there was also no difference in inflammation in the extraction areas.…”

Objective: Individual preference of using right or left hand for doing various hand workings, is the most easily observable form of the cerebral lateralization. It was stated that, among the right or left hand dominant individuals, there is an immunological asymetry, and a difference in motor control, visuospatial skills, and in the incidence of a number of disease. The aim of the study was to investigate pain, edema, trismus following the mandibular third molar extraction in patients with different hand preference. Amaç: Bireyin çesitli el işlerini yapmak için sağ veya sol elini tercih etmesi serebral lateralizasyonun en kolay gözlenebilen şeklidir. Sağ veya sol eli dominant olan kişiler arasında motor kontrol, vizyospasyal görevleri yerine getirmede, çeşitli hastalıkların görülme insidansında farklılıklar ve immün asimetri olduğu söylenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, mandibular 3. molar çekimini takiben görülen ağrı, ödem, trismusun el tercihi farklı olan hastalarda değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, sağ ve sol mandibular gömülü üçüncü molar dişlerin çekiminin gerekli olduğu 43 hasta dahil edildi. Aynı hastadan sağ ve sol mandibular gömülü diş çekimi 30 gün arayla yapıldı. 4 hasta grubu oluşturuldu; 1) El tercihi sol-sağ (sağ mandibular 3.molar dişi çekilen) 2) El tercihi sol-sol 3) El tercihi sağ-sağ 4) El tercihi sağ-sol. Ağrı, ödem ve trismusun operasyondan önce ve sonra karşılaştırılması için ölçümler yapıldı.

This study was designed to evaluate the variations in decision making among Brazilian oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS) and trainees in relation to third molar surgery. A survey on 18 diverse clinical situations related to the assessment and treatment of the third molar surgeries was conducted during the 20th Brazilian National OMFS meeting. Participants were divided into three groups according to their level of training. Another variable studied was length of experience. Correlation between the question answers and the variables was analysed using the chi-square test and the f test. The mean age of participants was 32.68 years, and their mean length of experience was 5.24 years. There were no statistical differences between the level of training and number of years of experience and the responses to 15 of the 18 questions on clinical situations. However, differences were found in responses to prophylactic extraction of asymptomatic third molars, use of non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during the preoperative surgical period and the use of additional imaging to plan extractions. The group with shorter time of experience (3.8 ± 3.94 years) tended to recommend extractions of asymptomatic third molars more frequently compared with the more experienced surgeons (P = 0.041). More experienced surgeons used NSAIDs in the preoperative surgical period, whereas the majority of the youngest surgeons (4.1 ± 5.96 years of experience) did not (P = 0.0042). The certificated trained and in practice group tended to treat deep lower third molar impactions based on the findings of a panoramic radiograph, without obtaining additional imaging [cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)] before treatment (P = 0.0132). Decision making regarding third molar treatment differs according to the level of training and is influenced by the number of years of experience. Therefore, further continuous education programmes in this area are warranted to make recommendations regarding third molars consistent with the current literature.
