IMPACTED MANDIBULAR THIRD MOLAR

This study tested whether placing platelet concentrates (made from the patient's own blood) into the extraction socket, along with low-level laser therapy, can improve healing after wisdom tooth removal. 122 adults participated, and researchers measured pain, swelling, mouth open…

This study tested whether a special laser (Er:YAG) could make removing impacted wisdom teeth less painful and traumatic than the usual surgical method. Twenty-four healthy adults aged 20-30 took part. The researchers measured pain, swelling, and how well the jaw could open after …

This study tested whether using an ultrasonic surgical device (piezosurgery) instead of standard rotary tools reduces pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness after removing impacted wisdom teeth. Twenty-two healthy adults each had one tooth removed with the ultrasonic device and the ot…

This study tested whether watching a video about the surgery before having a wisdom tooth removed helps lower anxiety compared to just hearing a verbal explanation. 73 adults scheduled for impacted wisdom tooth extraction were randomly assigned to either a video or verbal informa…

This study looked at two ways to help the socket heal after removing impacted wisdom teeth: using a patient's own platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or an absorbable collagen sponge. Twenty-nine healthy adults with similar wisdom teeth on both sides of their jaw took part. The goal was t…

This study tested whether a hypochlorous acid mouthwash could be a better alternative to the standard chlorhexidine mouthwash for reducing pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness after impacted wisdom tooth removal. 42 healthy adults with similar wisdom teeth on both sides of their mou…

This study tested two different mouth sprays to see which one works better for pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness after removing impacted wisdom teeth. 40 adults had both wisdom teeth removed in separate surgeries, each time using a different spray. The results will help doctors c…

This study tested if a single session of light therapy, applied to the cheek right after removing an impacted wisdom tooth, could reduce pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness. 70 healthy adults took part. The light therapy helped lower pain in the first few days but did not reduce sw…

This study tested whether placing a gel made from a patient's own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) into the tooth socket after wisdom tooth removal can reduce pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness. Thirty adults with two impacted wisdom teeth each had one socket treated with the gel and …

This study looked at whether a natural enzyme in saliva, called alpha-amylase, can help doctors see how well the mouth heals after wisdom tooth surgery. Twenty-eight adults had their impacted wisdom teeth removed. Half received a special blood-based clot (PRF) in the socket to he…
