Reliability and validity of measuring scale for postoperative complications in third molar surgery

Reliability and validity of measuring scale for postoperative complications in third molar surgery

BACKGROUND Third molar removal surgery is the most frequently performed surgery in the oral and maxillofacial field with a wide range of items in the quantification of postoperative complications. For their measure, in 2014 a previous scale design was presented. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of a scale designed to measure and quantify postoperative complica...

The Effect of Sutureless Surgery on Postoperative Pain and Swelling Following Mandibular Third Molar Surgery

Introduction: surgeons have always sought to use techniques to decrease pain and swelling. One of the solutions that can minimize these complications is closing the wound with the minimum number of sutures or sutureless technique. The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of sutureless technique in decreasing pain and swelling after impacted mandibular third molar surgery. Methods: ninete...
