Summary
This study compares the effect of two types of suturing techniques in the postoperative swelling and mouth opening after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar. total wound closure will be performed in one group of participants while partial closure will be performed in the other group.
Detailed description
Third molar surgeries are mostly associated with pain, swelling and limited mouth opening, referred to as post-operative morbidity. Wound closure technique is an operative factor which is associated with reduced post-operative morbidity. In the total wound closure, the mucoperiosteum is hermetically sealed whereas in the partial wound closure, a window or opening is left to allow for secondary healing. This study therefore compares the effect of partial and total wound closure techniques after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molar teeth in reducing the swelling and limited mouth opening.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | partial wound closure | 3 sutures distal to second molar and leaving the vertical releasing incision open without any sutures. |
| PROCEDURE | total wound closure | 5 interrupted sutures with 2 sutures closing the vertical releasing incision and 3 sutures distal to second molar leading to a complete hermetic closure of the wound. |
