Saline At Different Temperatures After 3rd Molar Surgery

Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Pakistan48 enrolled

Overview

This double-blind, single-center, split-mouth, randomized prospective clinical trial was conducted among 48 systemically and periodontally healthy patients who had bilaterally asymptomatic mandibular third molars.

Patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n = 24) according to the temperature of the saline used. In each patient, one impacted third molar was determined as the test group Trismus and swelling were evaluated on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days postoperatively. Pain perception by visual analog scale (VAS) and the total number of analgesics taken during the 7 postoperative days were recorded. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, the chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance, Duncan test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the Dunn test, and the Friedman test (P \< .05).
