“…The typically employed questionnaires include the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), the 16-item UK Oral Health-related Quality of Life measure (OHIP-16) (The Oral Health Impact Profile-16), OHQOLUK-16 (United Kingdom Oral Health-related Quality of Life measure questionnaire -16), EQ 5D-3L (The EuroQol Group questionnaire-5 Dimensions and 3 Levels), OHRQoLUK (United Kingdom Oral Health-related Quality of Life instrument), and PoSSe (Postoperative Symptom Severity questionnaire) [7,10,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. EQ 5D-3L studies showed improvement in postoperative QoL after seven days but with a significant decrease immediately after the surgery [6]. This questionnaire does not inquire about health before operation; thus, no comparison with the preoperative period is possible.…”

Today, extraction of the impacted third molar is the most common procedure performed in oral surgery departments. One of the methods currently investigated—in terms reducing the severity of non-infectious complications and decreasing Quality of Life following third molar surgeries—is Kinesio Taping (KT). The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of Kinesio Tape application on Quality of Life. A total of 100 asymptomatic patients with impacted third lower molar were included. The study participants were randomly divided into two groups: a study group with the application of KT (n = 50) and a control group (without KT) (n = 50). Removal of the impacted third lower molar was performed in each patient in a standardized fashion. For assessment of Quality of Life, the modified University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QoL v4) was used. Patients with Kinesio Tape application scored higher in all domains. Statistically significant differences between the two groups were found in the following domains: “Activity”, “Mood”, “Health-related QoL during the past 7 days” and “Overall QoL during the past 7 days”. There were no significant differences in significant problems and important issues between groups. Kinesio Taping has a significant impact on Quality of Life after impacted third molar removal. It should be considered as one of the noninvasive methods to reduce postoperative non-infectious complications.

“…QoL is defined as a patient's perception of the impact of their disease or treatment, or both, on their daily life and their physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing [6]. The basic methods of QOL assessment are various questionnaires which occasionally include pain scales, e.g., VAS-Visual Analogue Scale [7][8][9][10].…”

Post-operative pain is an area of oral surgery that concerns both patients and practitioners. Adequate management of pain and anxiety in oral surgery is an essential component of any oral surgery service. In this paper, we explore the science behind pain and the drugs available to manage post-operative pain. Discussion is focussed on the analgesics available on the dental practitioners' formulary and the evidence base supporting their use. We explore the beneficial and adverse effects of these analgesics. We also discuss recent controversies relating to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids. Based on the evidence available, we have developed a protocol to assist practitioners when advising and prescribing analgesics for their patients.
