Comparison of the Influence of Two Different Flap Designs on Pain and Swelling after Surgical Extraction of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars

Swelling and pain are common complications of surgical extraction of impacted teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of two different flap designs on the pain and swelling after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. Twenty-six patients aged 18 D 35 years, who had bilateral mandibular third molars, participated in this study. Each patient was operated with envelope flap on one side and SZMYD type 2 flap on the other side of his/her mouth. The severity of pain and swelling was evaluated on the operation day and thereafter by a surgeon who was blind to the study procedures. Data was analyzed by ANOV A and t-test. There were severe swelling and pain after surgery, with no significant differences between the two groups. The flap design had no significant influence on pain and swelling after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. [Javad Yazdani, Masume Amani, Tannaz Pourlak, Davood Maghbooliasl.
