Summary

This study evaluates the effectiveness of kinesio taping in reducing swelling, pain, and trismus complications after wisdom tooth extraction surgery. Patients undergoing bilateral symmetrical extraction of mandibular third molars, Kinesio tape was applied on the study side and placebo tape on the control side. Pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), swelling was measured using predefined facial landmarks, and mouth opening was recorded using interincisal distance measurements. Data were collected preoperatively (T0) and on the 1st (T1), 2nd (T2), and 3rd (T3) postoperative days.
