Summary

This prospective observational cohort study is designed to evaluate early postoperative complications and patient-reported satisfaction following surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars under local anesthesia in adult patients. Standardized surgical and postoperative protocols are applied to all participants. The primary objective is to assess overall patient satisfaction on postoperative day 7 using a structured questionnaire. Secondary objectives are to describe the frequency and characteristics of early postoperative pain, swelling, trismus and other complications in the first postoperative week after surgery.

Detailed description

Adult patients requiring surgical removal of an impacted mandibular third molar under local anesthesia will be prospectively enrolled at a single oral and maxillofacial surgery center. All procedures will be performed using a standardized surgical technique and a uniform postoperative medication and care protocol. Clinical examinations and patient-reported outcome measures will be obtained at baseline and at the postoperative day-7 follow-up visit. The study focuses on describing the early postoperative course after third molar surgery and on exploring how early complications relate to overall patient satisfaction with treatment.
