The main objective of this study is to evaluate postoperative pain (measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) on day 2 post surgery) in patients operated for avulsion of four wisdom teeth under general anesthesia and for whom the resulting alveoli were NOT sutured versus a similar group of patients undergoing standard care (suturing for lower alveoli).

Detailed description

The secondary objectives of this study are to compare the following between the two study arms: A. Pain at day 31 B. Operative time C. Edema D. Trismus E. The occurrence of complications F.
