This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polybutester sutures on postoperative complications in lower impacted third molar surgery.
After extraction of the bilateral lower third molars (35 patients), two different types of sutures were used on each side. Group 1( Polybutester suture) , group 2 (Polypropylene suture). Measurements to evaluate edema, trismus, and pain (using the VAS scale) had been taken pre-procedure and post-procedure( 2nd and 7th day )

Pain Evaluation
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).
Time frame: Postoperative 1st day

Edema evaluation using Facial measurement
The distance between predetermined facial anatomic landmarks (from the mandibular angle to lateral corner of the eye, from tragus to labial commissura, and from tragus to soft tissue pogonion) which was measured with using thread and millimeter ruler.
Time frame: Preoperative
Edema evaluation using Facial measurement
Postoperative edema was evaluated by the distance between predetermined facial anatomic landmarks (from the mandibular angle to lateral corner of the eye, from tragus to labial commissura, and from tragus to soft tissue pogonion) which was measured with using thread and millimeter ruler.

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