“…The third molars where present, they can cause damage periodontal condition of the mandibular 2Ms. [ 1 2 5 13 15 ] This research suggests that the extraction of third molars improve the periodontal status of adjacent second molar. Dentists should make radiographs of third molars frequently to verify level of the third molar relation with the second molar because some angulation positions are more unfavorable for the maintenance of periodontal health and these cases should be indicated for extraction.…”

“…The results confirmed a significant improval in the quality of life of patients after surgery in both studies. [ 1 2 ] The present study included patients with orthodontic indications, without painful symptoms or a history of pericoronitis, which could explain the difference between the results found.…”

“…Impacted third molars (3M), as well as other teeth in the same condition, may predispose an individual to other problems, such as pericoronitis,[ 1 2 ] orofacial infections,[ 3 ] dental caries,[ 4 ] periodontitis,[ 5 ] resorption of the adjacent tooth, cystic or neoplastic alterations, orthodontic or prosthetic problems, and even temporomandibular joint disorder. [ 6 7 8 ] These diseases can lead to certain symptoms that seriously affect the patients quality of life.…”

Aim:The aim of the present study was to assess the periodontal condition and sensitivity of second mandibular molars after the extraction of the adjacent third molar, while also assessing the quality of life of the patients.Materials and Methods:Twenty-three healthy patients were assessed in terms of probing depth, gingival height, gingival thickness, dental sensitivity, plaque index and bleeding on probing (adjacent second mandibular molar), before the surgical procedure, as well as 60 and 180 days after the surgery. The following data were also recorded and measured: the position and size of the impacted teeth; the size of the alveoli after surgery and the quality of life of the patient.Results:Significant differences were found for probing depth and gingival height before and after 180 days. The plaque index increased significantly after surgery (P = 0.004), as did bleeding on probing. No significant difference was found for the quality of life. The size of the third molar extracted was correlated with bleeding on probing 180 days after the surgery.Conclusion:An improvement was noted in the periodontal condition of the second mandibular molars after the extraction, based on the assessments of probing depth and gingival height. The position of the third molar affected the periodontal condition of the second mandibular molar. No alterations were recorded for dental sensitivity or the quality of life after the extraction.

“…In contrast, some acute symptomatic periodontal conditions, such as necrotisivng ulcerative gingivitis or acute apical periodontitis (Herrera et al, 2014), pericoronitis (Magraw et al, 2015) and the advanced stages of chronic periodontitis (Cunha-Cruz et al, 2007;Cunha-Cruz, 2008), are often painful. Therefore, it can be hypothesised that the absence of pain sensation is determined by alterations in periodontal nociception that are specific to painless periodontal conditions.…”

Periodontal diseases, primarily gingivitis and periodontitis, are characterised by progressive inflammation and tissue destruction. However, they are unusual in that they are not also accompanied by the pain commonly seen in other inflammatory conditions. This suggests that interactions between periodontal bacteria and host cells create a unique environment in which the pro-algesic effects of inflammatory mediators and factors released during tissue damage are directly or indirectly inhibited. In this review, we summarise the evidence that periodontal disease is characterised by an accumulation of classically pro-algesic factors from bacteria and host cells. We then discuss several mechanisms by which inflammatory sensitisation of nociceptive fibres could be prevented through inactivation or inhibition of these factors. Further studies are necessary to fully understand the molecular processes underlying the endogenous localised hypoalgesia in human periodontal disease. This knowledge might provide a rational basis to develop future therapeutic interventions, such as host modulation therapies, against a wide variety of other human pain conditions.
