Summary

Impacted third molar tooth extraction is one of the most frequently performed procedures in oral surgery. Complications such as pain, swelling and trismus, which are frequently seen after this operation, affect the patient's quality of life in the postoperative period. Today, there are many methods used to prevent or treat these complications. Corticosteroid use and A-PRF biomaterial obtained from the patient's own blood are some of these methods. In patients with bilaterally impacted lower wisdom teeth, A-PRF was applied to one side after extraction and postoperative oral dexamethasone was used to the other side. Intra-group and inter-group evaluations were made by collecting the patients' pain, edema, trismus and analgesic use data.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Impacted lower wisdom tooth extraction

One of the most common operations performed in oral surgery is the extraction of lower impacted wisdom teeth. The extraction of impacted third molars causes significant inflammatory changes resulting in edema, trismus and pain. Complications encountered after the extraction of lower impacted wisdom teeth can negatively affect the daily lives of patients. Some of the treatments applied for these complications can be listed as drug use, cold/hot compression, low-dose laser therapy, cryotherapy, autogenous biomaterials such as PRF.
