Brief Summary

Removal of impacted lower third molar teeth is one of the most common oral surgical procedures, and these operations often lead to various complications in patients. Antibiotics, analgesics and mouthwashes are prescribed for the treatment of complications encountered. When using postoperative antibiotics in surgery of impacted third molar teeth, lower surgical area infection, pain, swelling and trismus are seen. Based on this information, in this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effects of rifamycine intraoperatively on the postoperative pain, swelling and trismus.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (11)

  • Postoperative Pain

    Patients were requested to mark their pain intensity on a pain assessment form using a visual analoge scale (VAS) ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Postoperatif 1st day

  • Postoperative Pain

    Patients were requested to mark their pain intensity on a pain assessment form using a visual analoge scale (VAS) ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Postoperatif 2nd day

  • Postoperative Swelling

    Postoperative swelling was evaluated by the distance between predetermined facial anatomic landmarks (from the mandibular angle to lateral corner of the eye, base of the nose, labial commissura, and soft tissue pogonion) which was measured with using thread and millimeter ruler.

    Postoperative 2nd day

  • Postoperative Trismus

    Postoperative trismus was evaluated by the maximum distance between the incisive borders of the upper and lower right incisive teeth which was measured with a caliper.

    Postoperative 2nd day

  • Postoperative Pain

    Patients were requested to mark their pain intensity on a pain assessment form using a visual analoge scale (VAS) ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Postoperatif 3th day

  • Postoperative Pain

    Patients were requested to mark their pain intensity on a pain assessment form using a visual analoge scale (VAS) ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Postoperatif 4th day

  • Postoperative Pain

    Patients were requested to mark their pain intensity on a pain assessment form using a visual analoge scale (VAS) ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Postoperatif 5th day

  • Postoperative Pain

    Patients were requested to mark their pain intensity on a pain assessment form using a visual analoge scale (VAS) ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Postoperatif 6th day

  • Postoperative Pain

    Patients were requested to mark their pain intensity on a pain assessment form using a visual analoge scale (VAS) ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain).

    Postoperatif 7th day

  • Postoperative Swelling

    Postoperative swelling was evaluated by the distance between predetermined facial anatomic landmarks (from the mandibular angle to lateral corner of the eye, base of the nose, labial commissura, and soft tissue pogonion) which was measured with using thread and millimeter ruler.

    Postoperative 7th day

  • Postoperative Trismus

    Postoperative trismus was evaluated by the maximum distance between the incisive borders of the upper and lower right incisive teeth which was measured with a caliper.

Study Arms (2)

Rifamycine

EXPERIMENTAL

Rifamycine is a broad spectrum semi-synthetic antibiotic that acts on gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. As a local application, it has areas of use in dentistry such as washing fistula mouths, maxillary sinus and abscess wounds and treating osteomyelitis.

Drug: Rifamycine

Saline

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Saline, also known as saline solution, is a mixture of sodium chloride in water and has a number of uses in medicine. Applied to the affected area it is used to clean wounds. It is also used to dilute other drugs to be injected and to wash the operation site in dental surgery operations. It is most commonly used as a sterile 9 g of salt per litre (0.9%) solution, known as normal saline.

Drug: Saline Solution

Interventions

Local anesthesia was obtained using 2 ml articaine hydrochloride 40 mg/ml with epinephrine 0.01 mg/ml . The horizontal incision was made with no. 15 scalpel blade and a full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was raised. In all surgical procedures, bone removal and/or tooth sectioning were performed under sterile saline irrigation. Following the extraction, granulation tissues were removed, and bleeding was controlled. Finally, extraction socket was irrigated with the solution which contains 250 mg rifamycine and the mucoperiosteal flap was repositioned by 3.0 silk sutures.

After the bleeding was controlled, the mucoperiosteal flap was repositioned by 3.0 silk sutures.
