In this study, bilateral It is aimed to compare the efficacy of tissue adhesive (Periacryl 90) and silk suture in mandibular impacted wisdom tooth surgery.
In the study carried out on a total of 30 patients, 21 females and 9 males, 60 fully impacted lower wisdom teeth were extracted bilaterally and in the same position. One of the bilateral bilateral teeth of the patients was randomly selected and tissue adhesive (Periacryl 90) was applied for wound closure as the experimental group, while the other tooth was determined as the control group and the wound was closed with silk suture. The selected party was determined by the closed envelope method. After the first impacted tooth was extracted, it was waited until the wound healed and the symptoms disappeared completely, then the other tooth was extracted. In both tooth extractions, wound healing, edema and trismus were evaluated on the 3rd and 7th days. Wound healing was evaluated as good, acceptable and bad. VAS (Visual Analog Scale) was used for pain assessment and assessment was made at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days.

One of the most frequently performed procedures in maxillofacial surgery is impacted wisdom tooth surgery. An impacted tooth is defined as a tooth that is not fully or partially erupted and is blocked from eruption by another tooth, bone, or soft tissue, and thus has a low probability of eruption. The tooth is blocked from eruption by adjacent hard or soft tissue, including bone or dense soft tissue. The most common complications after impacted wisdom tooth surgery are pain, edema, trismus, and alveolar osteitis.

Wound Healing
All patients were called for follow-up visits on the 3rd day and 1 week later and were examined by the same physician. During the follow-up visits, the status of wound healing was evaluated in 3 different statuses. These 3 statuses were recorded as good, acceptable and poor. Wound healing deteriorated from good to poor.
Time frame: 3. and 7. days
Edema
In order to evaluate edema, the distances between points marked extra orally in 5 different regions on the face were measured and recorded in mm (angulus-tragus point, angulus-lateral corner of the eye, angulus-nasal wing, angulus-lateral commissure, angulus-pogonion point).
Time frame: 3. and 7. days
Trismus
The evaluation of trismus was evaluated by measuring the mouth opening before the operation and also on the 3rd and 7th days after the operation. The patients were asked to open their mouths as much as possible and the distance between the incisal edges of the lower and upper central incisors was measured in millimeters with the help of a precision ruler. This process was repeated 3 times for each measurement and the arithmetic average of the values found was taken.
Time frame: 3. and 7. days
VAS Pain Scor
VAS (Visual Analog Scale) was used for pain assessment. VAS pain assessment includes scores between 0 and 10. (0: no pain; 10: unbearable pain.) As the score increases, the pain worsens.
Time frame: 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days.
