“…Postoperative swelling, pain, and limitation of mouth opening are common after impacted third molar surgeries and severely decrease the patients’ quality of life. Despite the increased clinical application of KT in physiotherapy practice, especially after traumatic injuries, only a few studies investigate the effectiveness of KT in OMS literature; two studies showing effects of KT after maxillofacial trauma, 17 , 19 four studies after impacted tooth surgery, 5 , 15 , 16 , 18 two studies after orthognathic surgery, 20 , 21 and one study for temporomandibular joint disorders. 23 However, the aforementioned studies did not include placebo taping.…”

“…A recent split-mouth clinical study by Gözlüklü, et al 16 (2020) reported that their newly described KT method was more effective when compared with classic KT method in reducing postoperative morbidity after impacted third molar surgery. Genc, et al 5 (2019) compared the effectiveness of KT and surgical drain on postoperative morbidity after third molar surgery, observing significantly greater swelling and pain in KT group, and comparable occurrence of trismus in both groups. Lietz-Kijak, et al 21 (2018) revealed that KT had beneficial effects on the reduction of facial swelling after orthognathic surgery.…”

“…The postsurgical morbidities affecting jaws and face cause significant discomfort to patients. In attempt to reduce inflammatory response associated with surgical trauma and postoperative morbidity after OMS, many adjuvant applications including different surgical techniques, 1 drugs, 2 , 3 drains, 4 , 5 low-level-laser therapy, 6 , 7 cooling therapy 8 or physical therapy 9 have been reported. Drug-related adverse effects, complications and contraindications led researchers to study non-drug methods.…”

“…Recent studies evaluated the effects of KT technique after OMS procedures including impacted tooth surgery, maxillofacial trauma and orthognathic surgery. 5 , 15 - 21 Recent studies have shown that KT is a useful method for reducing postoperative morbidity by improving blood and lymphatic circulation. However, to the best our knowledge, previous studies comparing the actual effectiveness of KT technique in OMS area did not include a placebo-taping group.…”

Effectiveness of kinesio taping on postoperative morbidity after impacted mandibular third molar surgery: a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study

Objective Our study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of kinesio taping (KT) on postoperative morbidity compared to placebo and control groups after impacted third molar surgery. Methodology Sixty patients with impacted mandibular third molar were included in this prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study. After surgical extraction of the impacted tooth, patients were allocated into three groups (20 patients each): group 1 received KT (kinesio), group 2 received placebo taping (placebo), and group 3 received no taping (control). The groups were compared regarding facial swelling, pain and trismus. Swelling was evaluated using a tape measuring method. Pain was assessed by a visual analog scale and the number of analgesic tablets taken. Trismus was determined by measuring maximum mouth opening. Results In the KT group, all parameters reduced significantly on 2 nd and 4 th postoperative days compared to other groups; however, placebo and control groups revealed comparable outcomes. On 7 th day, all groups showed comparable results. Conclusions The KT application is an effective method for reducing morbidity after impacted mandibular third molar surgery. However, placebo taping is not as effective as proper taping. Placebo taping shows similar results compared to no taping regarding facial swelling percentage, pain and trismus.

“…Despite this, none of the treatments helped reduce trismus in this study. It should also be considered that drainage placement, despite being effective in reducing edema, may lead to other complications, in relation to the possibility of subcutaneous emphysema, infection, and external facial scar [98].…”

This chapter will discuss the expected edema and intercurrences in maxillofacial surgery, which involves important anatomical structures, such as the upper airways. It will also discuss important issues such as intrinsic and extrinsic enhancers of edema and the main consequences of a severe edema setting according to physiological, functional, and psychosocial points of view. Edema assessment and measurement is still performed subjectively in the clinical routine. However, for the accomplishment of studies, more objective forms are being tested, but still not very successful for clinical applicability. It is known that the best way to deal with edema is prevention; so in elective surgeries, much is discussed about the best management forms. This way, besides edema prevention, it is important not to cause unwanted reactions for the patient or in the performed procedure. Therefore, it will also be debated about preoperative medications and their consequences. Another point discussed involves main treatments for the underdeveloping edema and the one already installed, such as manual lymphatic drainage therapy, a treatment that is well known and used in other specialties, but is still very little widespread among maxillofacial surgeons.

A comparative study of surgical drain placement and the use of kinesiologic tape to reduce postoperative morbidity after third molar surgery

Abstract: Although both treatments were useful, a surgical drain was significantly more effective at reducing swelling and pain intensity than Kinesio tape. The effects of both on trismus were similar.
