Brief Summary
This prospective study was performed on 82 participants. Severe pain on percussion of the relevant tooth was considered as basic criteria when deciding on acute infection phase. The acutely infected teeth were labeled as the study group (n=35) and the asymptomatic ones as the control group (n=47). The extractions were done in the usual way. Amount of anesthetic solution used and durations of extractions were recorded.

Study Group
Severe pain on percussion of the relevant tooth was considered as basic criteria when deciding on acute infection phase. The acutely infected teeth were labelled as the study group
Control Group
The asymptomatic teeth were labelled as the control group
Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
The patients were selected among medically healthy volunteers, who referred to the investigators for extraction only one mandibular molar tooth. The informed consents were obtained. Exclusion criteria were smoking, oral contraceptive use, any conditions affecting the immune system, usage of antibiotics in last two weeks and the teeth needed surgical extractions. percussion sensitivity is used as separator between two groups.
You may qualify if:
- indication for only one mandibular molar tooth extraction (severe pain on percussion labeled as the study group and asymptomatic ones labeled as the control group)
You may not qualify if:
- smoking, oral contraceptive use, any conditions affecting the immune system, usage of antibiotics in last two weeks the teeth needed surgical extraction

A total of 82 patients aged between 15 and 79 years (mean 40.52 ± 15.46) met the study criteria. When deciding on acute infection phase, percussion sensitivity was accepted as the basic criteria. It was defined as severe pain when a dental mirror was dropped about 1 cm above the tooth. Patients with acutely infected teeth were labelled as "study group" (n = 35) and the asymptomatic patients as "control group" (n = 47). Null hypothesis of the study was "there is no significant difference between the acutely infected and asymptomatic lower molar teeth in terms of the complications that may occur during and after tooth extraction". The level of statistical significance was accepted as 0.05 and SigmaPlot 11.0 program was used for statistical analyses.
