Summary

This study was administered to 21 female and 9 male patients. Patients with impacted wisdom teeth on both sides of the mandible were selected. After extraction of the impacted teeth, silk sutures were used on one side and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive on the other side for wound closure. The effects of these two materials on patient comfort were investigated.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Surgery of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth

All surgical procedures were performed by the same surgeon using the standard surgical technique described below. The anesthetic used was 4% articaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline. In all patients, a sulcus incision was made in the lower second molar and an envelope incision in the third molar region, the mucoperiosteal flap was removed, and extraction was performed with a bone elevator and a third molar elevator. If necessary, the impacted molar was incised with a high-speed dental handpiece and a fissure bur. The wound was irrigated with saline and the wound edges were sealed with tissue adhesive containing cyanoacrylate.

If necessary, the impacted molar was incised with a high-speed dental handpiece and a fissure bur. The wound was irrigated with copious amounts of saline, and the wound edges were carefully sutured with simple 4.0 silk braided non-absorbable sutures.
