Summary

1\. ABSTRACT This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing the clinical efficacy and safety of four different flap closure techniques in reducing postoperative morbidity (pain, swelling, trismus, wound healing) and improving patient quality of life (GOHAI) following impacted mandibular third molar extraction. The methods include conventional suturing, sutureless technique, surgical drain, and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive, which are commonly used in oral surgery practice. The study aims to scientifically evaluate the effects of each method on patients and to determine the most appropriate clinical approach.

Conditions

  • Impacted Mandibular Third Molar
  • Postoperative Morbidity
  • Oral Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Conventional Suturing

Wound edges are approximated using 3/0 braided, non-absorbable silk sutures (Doğsan®, Turkey). Standard oral surgery closure technique.

PROCEDURE

Sutureless Technique

The wound is left to heal by secondary intention without using any suturing material.

PROCEDURE

Surgical Drain

A biocompatible sterile plastic drain is placed in the surgical site to facilitate drainage of blood and fluids, helping to reduce edema and hematoma formation.

PROCEDURE

Cyanoacrylate Tissue Adhesive

Cyanoacrylate-based medical tissue adhesive (PeriAcryl®90 High Viscosity) is applied to the wound edges, providing rapid polymerization and effective closure.
