Brief Summary
The tooth of the patient who applies to the clinic for the impacted wisdom tooth will be classified according to Escoda's difficulty classification. Before the extraction, patients' interincisal, tragus-commissural, and lateral canthus-angulus distances, Oral Health Impact Profile -14 (OHIP-14) scores, and serum levels of CRP and D-Dimer will be measured. Operation time will be recorded. After the operation, on 4th-day patients' patients' interincisal, tragus-commissural, and lateral canthus-angulus distances, Oral Health Impact Profile -14 (OHIP-14) scores, and serum levels of CRP and D-Dimer and Visual Analogue Scale (for pain) scores will be measured and recorded. On the 10th day, all these measurements will be repeated. All recorded data will be evaluated for possible correlations based on extraction difficulties.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (8)
interincisal distance change
The distance between the right upper central incisor incisal line and the right upper incisor incisal line will be measured before the surgery, on the 5th and 10th day. The changes will be evaluated.
before the surgery, 4th and 10th days
tragus-commissura distance
the distance between tragus and angulus in relevant side will be measured before the surgery, on the 5th and 10th day. The changes will be evaluated.
before the surgery, 4th and 10th days
lateral canthus-angulus distance
the distance between lateral canthus and angulus in relevant side will be measured before the surgery, on the 5th and 10th day. The changes will be evaluated.
before the surgery, 4th and 10th days
OHIP-14 score
Oral Health Impact Profile Score(14-70; higher is worse)
before the surgery, 4th and 10th days
VAS score
Visual analog scale score(0-10; higher is worse)
4th and 10th days
Operation time
Duration of surgical intervention
after the operation
CRP serum level
Serum levels of CRP will be measured via blood samples before the surgery and the 5th day.
before the surgery and 4th day
D-Dimer serum level
Serum levels of D-Dimer will be measured via blood samples before the surgery and the 5th day.
before the surgery and 4th day
