Summary

The investigator's purpose was to compare the effects of the surgical drain and kinesiologic tape applications on postoperative morbidity after mandibular third molar surgery.

Detailed description

A total of 90 patients will be scheduled for impacted third molar surgery. The patients will be divided into 3 groups.All surgeries will be carried out by the same surgeon. Group A will be treated with kinesiologic tape, Group B will be treated with a surgical drainage tube and Group C will be control group. After surgery in control group, routine surgical extraction will be performed.The investigators will compare postoperative pain, swelling, trismus and patients' comfort. The duration of each procedure from the start of the incision to the time of last suture placement will be noted. Patients are recalled on days 2, 7, 14 postoperative pain, facial swelling, maximum mouth opening, wound dehiscence. For the assesment of the pain, visual analog scale will be used. For the swelling evaluation, measurement will be done from the different three region on the face: * Tragus-Pogonion * Tragus-Labial Commissura * Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus Maximum mouth opening will be noted before and after (one week later) the surgery.

Conditions

• Impacted Third Molar Tooth

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Kinesiologic Tape Group	A mucoperiosteal flap will be raised, a conventional rotary handpiece will be used under irrigation for removing the third molar.Primary wound closure will be accomplished using 3-0 silk sutures.The kinesiologic tape will be prepared individually for each patient; it will be cut into three equal strips (approximately 1.6 cm in width) and placed between the clavicle and the tragus-commissura line. The patients will be invited after one week for removing the sutures.
PROCEDURE	Drain Group	A mucoperiosteal flap will be raised, a conventional rotary handpiece will be used under irrigation for removing the third molar.Primary wound closure will be accomplished using 3-0 silk sutures. A plastic non-customised drain tube (2-cm long, 2-mm diameter) will be inserted into a vertical incision between the first and second molars and sutured to the vestibular mucosa. The patients will be invited after one week for removing the sutures.
OTHER	Control Group	Routine third molar extraction will be performed. No extra procedures will be done after surgery.
