Conditions

Impacted Third Molar Tooth

Brief summary

The tooth of the patient who applies to the clinic for the impacted wisdom tooth will be classified according to Escoda's difficulty classification. Before the extraction, patients' interincisal, tragus-commissural, and lateral canthus-angulus distances, Oral Health Impact Profile -14 (OHIP-14) scores, and serum levels of CRP and D-Dimer will be measured. Operation time will be recorded. After the operation, on 4th-day patients' patients' interincisal, tragus-commissural, and lateral canthus-angulus distances, Oral Health Impact Profile -14 (OHIP-14) scores, and serum levels of CRP and D-Dimer and Visual Analogue Scale (for pain) scores will be measured and recorded. On the 10th day, all these measurements will be repeated. All recorded data will be evaluated for possible correlations based on extraction difficulties.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
interincisal distance changebefore the surgery, 4th and 10th daysThe distance between the right upper central incisor incisal line and the right upper incisor incisal line will be measured before the surgery, on the 5th and 10th day. The changes will be evaluated.
tragus-commissura distancebefore the surgery, 4th and 10th daysthe distance between tragus and angulus in relevant side will be measured before the surgery, on the 5th and 10th day. The changes will be evaluated.
lateral canthus-angulus distancebefore the surgery, 4th and 10th daysthe distance between lateral canthus and angulus in relevant side will be measured before the surgery, on the 5th and 10th day. The changes will be evaluated.
OHIP-14 scorebefore the surgery, 4th and 10th daysOral Health Impact Profile Score(14-70; higher is worse)
VAS score4th and 10th daysVisual analog scale score(0-10; higher is worse)
Operation timeafter the operationDuration of surgical intervention
CRP serum levelbefore the surgery and 4th daySerum levels of CRP will be measured via blood samples before the surgery and the 5th day.
D-Dimer serum levelbefore the surgery and 4th daySerum levels of D-Dimer will be measured via blood samples before the surgery and the 5th day.
