The study aims to assess the efficacy of using collagen membrane in the treatment of distal periodontal defects of mandibular second molars following the removal of mesioangularly or horizontally impacted mandibular third molars surgically. Forty sites in twenty patients with bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars (mesioangular or horizontal) were considered for the study. In 20 test sites (Group A), after surgical removal of the mandibular third molar, a resorbable collagen membrane barrier was placed on the distal aspect of the mandibular second molar to cover the post-surgical bone defect. In the other control 20 sites (Group B), the same surgical procedure was repeated without placing any membrane barrier. The clinical parameters recorded were Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S), Probing pocket depth (PPD), Clinical attachment level (CAL), and radiographic assessment of alveolar bone level (ABL). OHI-S score of most of the patients was observed to be satisfactory. Group A was observed to achieve a statistically significant reduction in PPD, CAL, and ABL gain compared to Group B. The improvements indicated that the use of collagen membrane facilitates early wound stabilization and promotes primary closure of the defect. This recovery is achieved through its unique property to assist fibrinogenesis over osteoconduction. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the present findings.

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of tube drain compared with conventional suturing on postoperative complications after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. Study Design: Cross Sectional study (Comparative). Setting: Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Institute of Dentistry, LUMHS Jamshoro/Hyderabad. Period: Six months duration from 12-11-2015 to 13-05-2016. Material & Methods: All the patient age from 18 to 45 years irrespective of gender, having mesioangular impacted mandibular third molar were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups, Group-A and group-B. The severity of pain was recorded by using Visual Analog Scale from 0 no pain to 10 worst pain, degree of swelling was measured by facial size through Amin and Laskin criteria and mouth opening was measured by interincisal distance through ruler. All data was recorded on the 3rd and 7th day by the clinician. Results: Mean age of group A was 31.22+7.21 years, and mean age of group B was 28.34+5.33 years. Male were found slightly more as compared to female. On 3rd day the post-operative pain assessment was almost equal in both groups p-value 0.06 and assessment of post-operative swelling on 3rd day was found with insignificant difference p-value 0.22. Assessment of pain on 7th post-operative day was that the severe pain was found significantly reduced in group B as compared to group A p-value 0.01, swelling was significantly reduced in group B p-value 0.04. While mouth opening was also found significantly more in group B as compared to group A p-value 0.022. Conclusion: After removal of impacted mandibular third molars, incorporating tube drain is very effective as compared to conventional suturing in reducing the facial swelling, trismus and postoperative pain.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to revisit the forgotten art of Lingual split bone technique during the COVID pandemic as a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. It was originally introduced in early 90’s by Sir William Kelsey Fry and also we have compared its advantages over the bone guttering technique. Materials and Methods: Twenty seven cases were operated during COVID pandemic in our institution using Davi’s modified lingual split technique under strict COVID protocol. Results: All impacted mandibular third molars were successfully removed. With regards to post-operative complication; 3 patients had nerve injury (11%), 2 patients had lingual paraesthesia (7.6%), 1 patient had alveolar osteitis (3.8%), 2 patients had postoperative infection (7.6%), 3 patients had trismus (19%). The overall success rate was 100%. Also the results of a comparison between bone guttering and chisel-mallet technique were stated. Conclusion: The use of lingual split bone technique deserves consideration during this COVID time as an alternate for bone guttering in surgical removal of third molar as it ensures minimal cross infectivity rate among both dentists and patients. Thus, patient care can be delivered with confidence even during pandemic.

Introduction: The surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars is an invasive procedure that involves extensive tissue trauma and a considerable postoperative inflammatory response. Although the inflammatory process is necessary for healing when exacerbated it may cause pain, swelling and limited mouth opening. Corticosteroids are among the most widely employed pre-operative medication administered for the control of such complications. Objective: To compare the effects of single dose of pre-operative Injection Dexamethasone versus Injection Methylprednisolone via Intramuscular or Submucosal route for controlling the post-operative pain, swelling and limited mouth opening in the removal of impacted mandibular third molars. Material and Method:. The present study was conducted on 40 healthy adult patients with bilaterally symmetrical impacted mandibular third molar, reporting to the Department of oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Guru Nanak Dev Dental College and Research Institute, Sunam. Clinically, pain, swelling, mouth-opening were evaluated pre-operatively as baseline and post-operatively on 1st, 3rd and 7th post-operative days. Results: The results of our study are summarized below: In Group A: Submucosal injection of dexamethasone gave better results in controlling pain, swelling and trismus in comparison to Intramuscular injection of dexamethasone. In Group B: Submucosal injection of methylprednisolone showed better results in terms of pain, swelling and trismus when compared with Intramuscular injection of methylprednisolone. In Group C: Intramuscular injection of dexamethasone gave better results in terms of pain and mouth opening but, swelling was reduced with Intramuscular methylprednisolone. In Group D: Submucosal injection of dexamethasone showed better results in terms of pain, but swelling and mouth opening was reduced when methylprednisolone was used submucosal. Conclusion: The results of our study concluded that Dexamethasone is better than Methylprednisolone in controlling post-operative sequelae after third molar surgery. This can attributed to the higher potency and longer half-life and less sodium retaining capacity of dexamethasone than methylprednisolone. The results of our study also concluded that submucosal route of administration of drug is better than Intramuscular route because of the repository effect of the submucosal route, also this route is beneficial to the patient as well to the surgeon because needle penetration is done in the pre-anesthetized area, also it is an easy technique to be mastered by the surgeon.

Objectives: This study sought to assess the thickness of buccal and lingual alveolar bone plates according to the position of impacted mandibular third molars on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Materials and Methods: Eighty-four CBCT scans of impacted mandibular third molars were evaluated in this retrospective study. All images had been obtained by ProMax 3D CBCT system with the exposure settings of 78 kVp, 12 mA, 16 s time, 0.2 mm voxel size and 10 × 9 cm field of view. The impaction angle of teeth and the thickness of buccal and lingual cortical plates were determined on images by drawing lines in the anterior, middle, posterior, superior, central and inferior regions. Thickness of bone plates was analyzed according to the position of impacted molars relative to the buccal and lingual plates using the Student t-test and relative to the second molars using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test. Results: In the buccolingual direction, the buccal plate thickness was maximum in lingual position followed by central position, and minimum in buccal position of the teeth. The lingual plate thickness was minimum in horizontal and distoangular positions and maximum in the mesioangular position of impacted teeth. Conclusion: Risk of lingual plate preformation is higher in surgical removal of impacted third molars with distoangular and horizontal positions. Thus, further attention must be paid by the surgeons to such cases.

Surgical removal of mandibular third molars is associated with non-infectious postoperative complications, including pain, swelling, trismus. Intraoral drains are noteworthy because of their ease of application, availability, and effectiveness. This study aimed to evaluate the use of latex and calcium–sodium alginate mouth flat drains on the severity of postoperative complications such as pain, trismus, and edema after surgical removal of mandibular third molars. Ninety patients who underwent surgical removal of wisdom teeth were studied. The patients were divided into three groups. Group A—with a latex flat drain, group B—with a sodium–calcium alginate (Kaltostat) flat drain, and group C—with a wound closed with knotted sutures. Patients were assessed for pain on a VAS scale every day from surgery to postoperative day 7. Before the procedure and on postoperative days 1, 2, and 7, the pain level, edema, and trismus were measured, respectively. Intraoral drainage with a flat drain after mandibular third molar removal does not significantly reduce pain, as measured by the VAS scale, or postoperative swelling, as measured by lines between craniometric points. Intraoral drainage with a latex drain after mandibular third molar removal does not significantly reduce trismus, while intraoral drainage with a calcium–sodium alginate drainage bag significantly increases trismus.

Background. Late mandibular incisor crowding is a fairly common phenomenon experienced by growing adults. The etiology of late mandibular incisor crowding, however, is controversial and inconclusive. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between mandibular third molar and mandibular incisor crowding using Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. Methods. The study consisted of 40 samples of CBCT images divided into two groups (n=20). Group A comprised CBCT images without third molars, and group B included CBCT images with third molars. The images were observed in the axial view and manually marked to calculate the amount of crowding using Little’s irregularity index. The obtained values were statistically analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test. SPSS 23 was used for statistical analysis. Results. The results showed a positive correlation between the mandibular third molars and mandibular incisor crowding, which was significant (P=0.033). The mean Little’s irregularity index score for groups A and B were 4.26 and 6.799, respectively (P=0.033). Conclusion. The positive correlation between the two groups suggests an association between the mandibular third molars and mandibular incisor crowding.

Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars constitutes one of the most frequently performed procedures within oral surgery. This surgery procedure is associated with many post-operative complications. Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) belongs to the second generation of platelet concentrates and is rich in numerous growth factors. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of A-PRF on selected clinical features following the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. The research was conducted on 100 generally healthy patients, who underwent a lower third molar odontectomy in Department of Oral Surgery, Medical University of Gdańsk, Poland, between 2018 and 2019. The research group consisted of 50 patients (immediate A-PRF socket filling) and control group (50 patients without A-PRF socket filling). During the study, the following clinical features were assessed: pain (visual analog scale), analgesics intake, the presence of trismus, edema, hematomas within the surrounding tissues (e.g., cheek), prevalence of pyrexia, dry socket, secondary bleeding, presence of hematomas, skin warmth in the post-operative area, and bleeding time observed by the patient were analyzed on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th day after the procedure. There was a significant association between A-PRF socket filling and pain intensity, the analgesics intake, trismus, and edema on the 3rd and the 7th day (p < 0.05). The presence of hematomas and skin warmth on the 3rd day after the surgery (p < 0.05) were also statistically associated with A-PRF use. The study showed that in reducing the incidence of postoperative complications, A-PRF was more important than the position of the tooth or the duration of the procedure. The growth factors in A-PRF reduce postoperative complications, such as pain, trismus, edema, analgesics intake, presence of hematomas, and skin warmth, after mandibular wisdom teeth odontectomy.

Abstract Aim Prophylactic surgical extraction of impacted third molars is a common practice throughout the world justified on the presumption that the risk of surgical morbidity increases with increasing age, among other reasons. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare surgical morbidity associated with third-molar extractions in young and aging populations. Methods and Materials A review of records for all patients who underwent the surgical extraction of impacted third molars between April 2001 and June 2006 at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital was carried out. Results A total of 506 patients had surgical extractions of impacted third molars under local anaesthesia during the period of the study. Of these, 470 (92.9 percent) patients were below the age of 40 years (Group A) and 36 (7.1 percent) patients were 40 years of age and older (Group B). No incidences of severe intraoperative complications (excessive bleeding or mandibular fractures) were recorded in either group, but other postoperative complications were reported in 70 (13.8 percent) patients. Of these 70 patients, 65 (92.9 percent) were from Group A and 5 (7.1 percent) were from Group B, and their complications included infected socket, dry socket, paraesthesia, and buccal space abscess. Conclusions No significant difference in postoperative complications following surgical removal of mandibular third molars was found between patients 40 years old and greater and those below age 40. Prophylactic surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars, based on the assumption that surgical morbidity increases with age, may not be justifiable. Clinical Significance Age does not predispose patients who had surgical extraction of mandibular third molars above 40 years of age to any additional surgical complications when compared to patients below the age of 40 years receiving comparable treatment.
