Clinical Wound Healing After Lower 3rd Molar Fully-impacted Surgery With 2 Types of Flap

NCT04314765 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 56

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The dehiscence distal to the second molar after lower third molar extraction is very common because the access flap for surgical extraction cannot be repositioned on a portion of healthy bone to guarantee suture support. The healing process is therefore delayed and the possible accumulation of food and debris is often responsible for bad smell and pain with the consequent occurrence of an overlapping infection.

The main aim of the study is to evaluate whether healing is significantly different using two different flaps for surgical access. Clinical assessment and a quality of life questionnaire are used for the evaluation.
