Summary

The surgical removal of lower wisdom teeth is a common procedure that can cause pain, facial swelling, and difficulty in opening the mouth after surgery. These symptoms are usually managed with medications such as dexamethasone, which helps reduce inflammation but may have unwanted side effects in some patients.

This study compares the use of dexamethasone with Kinesio Tape, a non-drug treatment applied to the skin, to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing pain, swelling, and limited mouth opening after wisdom tooth removal. The findings of this study may help determine whether Kinesio Tape can be a safe and effective alternative to medication for improving recovery after surgery.
