“…There are also proposals for new, less visible [ 25 ], and more effective [ 26 ] ways of applying the tape in the area of oedema. Most of the studies included in the analysis are very recent reports (from 2019 [ 22 , 23 ] and 2020 [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]). With regret, it must be noted that this research had a small group of patients included in the study, and only one of them (Chiang et al) scored maximum points on a scale of Maastricht for the number of patients included in the study.…”

There are many randomized clinical trials suggesting a positive effect of kinesiotaping on postoperative swelling. In dentistry, however, the use of kinesiotaping still seems to be innovative, since not many articles on kinesiotaping within the craniofacial area have been published. This study aimed to systematically review and synthesize available controlled trials examining the use of kinesiotaping to reduce morbidity after third molar extraction. Literature searches for free text and MeSH terms were performed using five search engines, and used to find studies which focused on kinesiotaping as a form of rehabilitation after third molar extraction. The keywords used in the search were: “((“molar, third”[MeSH Terms] OR (“molar”[All Fields] AND “third”[All Fields]) OR “third molar”[All Fields] OR (“third”[All Fields] AND “molar”[All Fields])) AND extraction [All Fields]) AND “kinesiology”[All Fields]”. For the assessment of the risk of bias, the Jadad and Maastricht scales were applied. The search strategy identified 317 potential articles. After analysis, 10 papers were included in the final evaluation. Despite the fact that most of the included articles adhered to methodological standards, the fact that there are only a few of them points to a further need for scientific development of physiotherapy in this regard. Kinesiology taping is useful against post-operative morbidity of the third molar extraction site. The present studies show a low level of the risk of bias, but they are limited in number; therefore, it seems that more research is needed.

“…In the literature, the authors have unanimously agreed that the most severe swelling occurs after two-to-three days following the surgical removal of the third molar in the mandible [ 38 ]. Most authors also agree on the seven-day follow up [ 18 , 29 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 37 , 39 , 40 ].…”

“…Some of the articles concerned the influence of patients’ age and the duration of the surgical removal of wisdom teeth on the severity of oedema, jaw compression, and pain after surgery [ 40 ]. A study by Bello et al did not show any significant statistical effect of the duration of surgery on postoperative swelling and maxillofacial pain ( p > 0.05).…”

“…It should also be taken into account that few authors have reported the results of edema measurement with and without KT as a mean of all linear measurements [ 32 , 33 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 40 ]. In our study, as well as in Tatli’s study [ 34 ], the results were related to each linear measurement separately, which allowed us to separately determine the effect of KT on the occurrence and size of edema in each area.…”

Non-infectious complications such as post-extraction pain, trismus, and swelling are extremely common after impacted wisdom tooth removal. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of using kinesio tape on the level of the postoperative swelling of soft tissues, trismus, and pain in patients undergoing the surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar. One hundred patients undergoing the surgical extraction of a lower wisdom tooth were randomly divided into two groups: a study group with kinesio taping (KT) (n = 50) and a control group without kinesio taping (NKT) (n = 50). The surgical procedure was performed according to the same repeatable scheme. Kinesio tape was applied immediately after surgery in the KT group. In both groups, measurements of swelling, trismus, and pain were performed before the surgery and on the third and seventh postprocedural days. Kinesio tape had a significant effect on the decrease in facial swelling on the third day after surgery and a decrease in trismus and pain severity levels on the third and seventh days after surgery. The kinesio tape method is non-invasive, continuously active throughout the entire application period, and requires no additional patient appointments. KT application is an effective method for reducing postoperative edema, pain, and trismus after impacted mandibular wisdom teeth surgery.
