The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of four different types of mouthwash on socket healing after surgical extractions in male or female patients aged 18 years and older who have a unilateral impacted mandibular third molar indicated for extraction. The main questions it aims to answer are: The effect of Bone Bioactive Liquid (BBL) mouthwash, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) mouthwash, the Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) mouthwash and Warm Saline Mouth Rinse (WSMR) on socket healing after surgical extractions. The effect of BBL mouthwash, HA mouthwash, the CHX mouthwash and WSMR on patient related factors and their quality of life. Recruited Participants will be randomized into four intervention groups: 1. First group will receive BBL mouthwash. 2. The second group will receive CHX mouthwash. 3. The third group will be prescribed HA mouthwash. 4. The fourth group will receive Warm Saline Mouth Rinse.

Prescribed for 7 days period 2 times a day starting 24 hours post-extraction, the patient is instructed to pour 10 ml of the mouthwash into a measuring cup, rinse for 1 minute at an alternative time to teeth brushing. Do not eat or drink for 30 min after use.
Prescribed for 7 days period 2 times a day starting 24 hours post-extraction.
Prescribed for 7 days period 3-4 times a day starting 24 hours post-extraction, the patient is instructed to pour 20 ml of the mouthwash into a measuring cup and rinse for 1 minute, at an alternative time to teeth brushing. Do not eat or drink for 30 mins after use.
Prescribed for 7 days period 2 times a day starting 24 hours post-extraction.

Extraction socket soft tissue healing
Using a new socket wound healing scale that is a combination of the gingival healing index of Landry et al. and the wound healing scale used by Cervelli et al. to assess the post-extraction wounds in terms of wound dehiscence, epithelialization, quality of granulation tissue filling the post-extraction socket, and depth between early granulation tissue and wound margin. A blunt periodontal probe with millimetric markers will be used for this assessment to score a number between 0 (best) and 4 (worst) for the healing socket.
Time frame: Measured at 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
Extraction socket Bone healing
Using panoramic radiographs and following the Longitudinal radiographic assessment (LRA) technique categorized as: A. The empty socket is completely radiolucent, and lamina dura is observed clearly around the socket. B. Socket region is hazy and lamina dura is observed around the socket. C. There is a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque appearance inside the socket and lamina dura has been partially disappeared. D. Mature bone is seen inside the socket and lamina dura has disappeared completely (no difference between the socket and normal bone).
Time frame: Radiographs will be taken at baseline and at 6 months after extraction.
The resulting periodontal defect of the adjacent second molar
Will be evaluated using a UNC 15 perio probe with three clinical parameters: the first is probing depth (PD) measured in mm at three sites of the second molar tooth: Distal (D), disto-buccal (DB), and disto-lingual (DL).
Time frame: Preoperatively and at 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively, we may call the patients for further assessment at 9 and 12 months
The resulting periodontal defect of the adjacent second molar
Will be evaluated using a UNC 15 perio probe with three clinical parameters: the second is gingival recession (GR) measured in mm at three sites of the second molar tooth: Distal (D), disto-buccal (DB), and disto-lingual (DL).
Time frame: Preoperatively and at 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively, we may call the patients for further assessment at 9 and 12 months
The resulting periodontal defect of the adjacent second molar
Will be evaluated using a UNC 15 perio probe with three clinical parameters: the third is bleeding on probing (BOP) measured as present or not at three sites of the second molar tooth: Distal (D), disto-buccal (DB), and disto-lingual (DL).
Time frame: Preoperatively and at 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively, we may call the patients for further assessment at 9 and 12 months
Quality of life of the patients (QOL) after extraction
Assessed based on a questionnaire that addresses different aspects including social and work isolation, ability to eat and speak, impairment of sleep schedule, their physical appearance related to swelling, bleeding and Paresthesia. Answers to the presented questions are in the form of a four-point scale regarding their experience at the time the participants given the form to fill.
Time frame: At 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
Pain at the extraction side
Assessed using a 10cm long visual analog scale (VAS) where 0= no pain and 10= maximum amount of pain.
Time frame: At 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
Trismus
By measuring the interincisal distance at the maximum mouth opening pre-operatively and at 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively, then the difference between pre- and postoperative will be taken.
Time frame: Pre-operatively and at 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
Facial swelling at the extraction side
Assessed using a soft tape to measure the distance between the lowest point of the tragus and the soft tissue pogonion, the lowest point of the tragus and the lateral corner of the mouth, the lateral corner of the eye and the angle of the mandible. These measurements will be taken preoperatively and at 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Then the difference between the pre-operative and postoperative values will be divided by the value obtained in the preoperative period and multiplied by 100 to have the final percentage for the post-operative day.
Time frame: Preoperatively and at 3, 7, 14 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
