Interventions

Medical Device : All surgical extractions were performed by two experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS) following a standardized protocol in order not to influence the surgical trauma level

lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine (2&#37

Lidocaine HCL Injection, Huons Co., Ltd, Seongnam, Korea) were injected for local anesthesia. Similar degree and size of mucoperiosteal incisions (about 1 cm) were made on solid bony surfaces of both

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria were as follows: indications for surgical removal of both mandibular third molars with partial impaction which need surgical incision, similar vertical and horizontal position of both sides of third molars, and age above 19 years with informed consent. No peri-coronitis, drug-allergy and specific medical diseases which could influence to the results.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: This study excluded patients with systemic conditions that contraindicated surgical procedure, fully erupted mandibular third molars which do not need surgical incision, acute pericoronitis of third molars, generally poor oral hygiene and conditions, pregnant or nursing women, smokers, patients under medications that would interfere with the wound healing and refusal to give signed informed consent. No subjects had undergone a previous similar treatment to that performed in this study.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Evaluation of degree of wound healing: Total scores of redness, swelling, pain, and incision wound closure. Each parameter was divided into four ratings (asymptomatic, mild, moderate, and severe) and scored from 0 to 15.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Four parameters were scored: redness, swelling, pain, and incision wound closure. Each parameter was divided into four ratings (asymptomatic, mild, moderate, and severe) and scored from 0 to 15	—
