Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Swelling will be assessed using paper ruler. Tragus-Pogonion Tragus-Labial Commissura Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus.

    Swelling measurement will be done from the different three region on the face. Tragus-Pogonion Tragus-Labial Commissura Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus. The swelling measurement will be done preoperatively, postoperative 2nd day, 7th day after the surgery.

    Up to 1week

  • Pain will be assessed using a visual analogue scale.

    The level of postoperative pain will be evaluated using a 10-cm visual analogue scale , with zero representing no pain and 10 representing excruciating pain. Pain measurement will be done everyday in one week after the surgery.

    Up to 1week

  • Trismus will be evaluated using a caliper at maximum mouth opening.

    Trismus will be assessed by measuring the maximum interincisal opening (in millimetres) - the distance between the incisal margin of the upper and lower central incisors. Trismus measurement will be done preoperatively, postoperative 2nd day, 7th day after the surgery.

    Up to 1week

Study Arms (3)

Kinesiologic Tape Group

EXPERIMENTAL

After the routine impacted third molar surgery, the kinesiologic tape will be prepared individually for each patient; it will be cut into three equal strips (approximately 1.6 cm in width) and placed between the clavicle and the tragus-commissura line. Kinesiologic tape will be removed on the second postoperative day, and all sutures on will be removed on 7. postoperative day.

Procedure: Kinesiologic Tape Group

Surgical Drain Group

EXPERIMENTAL

After routine impacted third molar surgery, plastic non-customised drain tube (2-cm long, 2-mm diameter) will be inserted into a vertical incision between the first and second molars and sutured to the vestibular mucosa.

Procedure: Drain Group

Control Group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Routine third molar extraction will be performed. No extra procedures will be done after surgery.

Other: Control Group

Interventions

A mucoperiosteal flap will be raised, a conventional rotary handpiece will be used under irrigation for removing the third molar.Primary wound closure will be accomplished using 3-0 silk sutures.The kinesiologic tape will be prepared individually for each patient; it will be cut into three equal strips (approximately 1.6 cm in width) and placed between the clavicle and the tragus-commissura line. The patients will be invited after one week for removing the sutures.
