Impacted Third Molar Tooth
Conditions
Keywords
third molar surgery, povidone iodine
Brief summary
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of povidone iodine (PVP-I) on postoperative swelling and trismus when used as a coolant and irrigation solution during the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.
Interventions
PROCEDUREControl
During the third molar extraction the saline solution will be used in the control group.
PROCEDURE0.5% concentration of PVP-I
During the third molar extraction 0.5% concentration of PVP-I solution will be used in the test group.
PROCEDURE1 % concentration of PVP-I
During the third molar extraction 1 % concentration of PVP-I solution will be used in the test group.
PROCEDURE3 % concentration of PVP-I
During the third molar extraction 3 % concentration of PVP-I solution will be used in the test group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative Facial Swelling (assessed 3 facial lines (in millimeters) for determination of difference in facial contours before and after surgery) | Preoperative (on the day of surgery)- postoperative 2nd day-postoperative 7th day | For the assessment of facial swelling, three facial lines (in milimeters) were measured with a digital tape on the operated side using following (4) landmarks: the external canthus of the eye, the gonion angle, the lower border of the tragus, soft pogonion and the mouth commissure Facial Lines between: 1. the external canthus of the eye- the gonion angle 2. the lower border of the tragus-the mouth commissure 3. the lower border of the tragus- soft pogonion |
| Postoperative Trismus (difference in interincisal distance at the maximal mouth opening (in millimeters) before and after surgery) | Preoperative (on the day of surgery)- postoperative 2nd day-postoperative 7th day. | The degree of trismus was assessed by measuring the distance between upper and lower incisal borders of the central incisors with a digital caliper. |
