Polybutester, Polypropylene, Pain, Edema, Trismus
Brief summary
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polybutester sutures on postoperative complications in lower impacted third molar surgery.
Detailed description
After extraction of the bilateral lower third molars (35 patients), two different types of sutures were used on each side. Group 1( Polybutester suture) , group 2 (Polypropylene suture). Measurements to evaluate edema, trismus, and pain (using the VAS scale) had been taken pre-procedure and post-procedure( 2nd and 7th day )
Interventions
DEVICEPolybutester suture
After third molar surgery this suture used for primary closure.
DEVICEPolypropylene suture
After third molar surgery this suture used for primary closure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Evaluation | Postoperative 1st day | Patients were requested to mark their pain intensity on a pain assessment form using a visual analoge scale (VAS) ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain). |
| Edema evaluation using Facial measurement | Preoperative | The distance between predetermined facial anatomic landmarks (from the mandibular angle to lateral corner of the eye, from tragus to labial commissura, and from tragus to soft tissue pogonion) which was measured with using thread and millimeter ruler. |
| Edema evaluation | Postoperative 7th day | Postoperative edema was evaluated by the distance between predetermined facial anatomic landmarks (from the mandibular angle to lateral corner of the eye, from tragus to labial commissura, and from tragus to soft tissue pogonion) which was measured with using thread and millimeter ruler. |
| Trismus Evaluation | Preoperative | Preoperative trismus was evaluated by the maximum distance between the incisive borders of the upper and lower right incisive teeth which were measured with a caliper. |
| Trismus evaluation | Postoperative 2nd day | Postoperative trismus was evaluated by the maximum distance between the incisive borders of the upper and lower right incisive teeth which was measured with a caliper. |
