Conditions

Post Operative Swelling, Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Extraction

Brief summary

This Study is designed for purpose to increase patient safety and reduce complications which occurs after mandibular 3rd molar extraction which is will increase discomfort after extraction. My study hypothesis is that gelatin sponge after extraction reduce swelling post extraction wisdom tooth.For understanding when we remove wisdom tooth, we involve hard and soft tissiues which will result in post extraction swelling.
