Brief summary
PATIENT INFORMATION SHEET Participants are invited to take part in a clinical study involving surgical removal of an impacted lower wisdom tooth. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary. The purpose of this study is to observe the healing process after wisdom tooth removal and to assess whether the use of elastic therapeutic tape placed on the skin (kinesiotaping) may support recovery. SURGICAL PROCEDURE The procedure will be performed under local anesthesia and will include: - Administration of local anesthesia * Incision of the gum * Exposure of the impacted tooth and surrounding bone * Removal of the tooth * Cleaning of the surgical site - Placement of sutures After the surgery, standard post■operative instructions will be provided. STUDY PROCEDURE After the surgical procedure, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Standard post■operative care 2. Post■operative care combined with application of elastic therapeutic tape on the skin of the face and neck area If the participants are assigned to the tape group, the tape will be applied immediately after surgery by qualified medical personnel and will remain in place for several days. FOLLOW■UP VISITS Participant will be asked to attend follow■up visits on specific days after the procedure to allow the medical team to assess healing. PAIN MANAGEMENT Participant will be allowed to take pain medication if necessary, following medical advice. VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION Participation in this study is voluntary. Participant may withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason and without affecting participants medical care. CONFIDENTIALITY All medical information collected during the study will be handled confidentially and used solely for research purposes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| postoperative pain intensity | 2 days post-surgery and 7 days post-surgery | Postoperative pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity. |
| Maximum Mouth Opening (MMO) | FinishBefore surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 7 days after surgery | Maximum mouth opening will be measured using a caliper as the interincisal distance between the upper and lower incisors at maximum mouth opening. |
| Facial Soft Tissue Swelling | Before surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 7 days after surgery | Facial swelling will be assessed using linear tape measurements between six predefined facial reference points. The sum of distances will be used for analysis. |
| Postoperative Analgesic Consumption | Day of surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 7 days after surgery | The total number of ketoprofen 100 mg tablets taken by each participant will be recorded as a measure of postoperative analgesic demand. |
