“…14,16 The tape method has disadvantages, such as measuring by direct contact with the patient, reducing comfort, and the possibility of making the measurement incorrect. 17,18 The 3D face-scanning method has been reported to be a fast and reproducible measurement method, 17 and has been evaluated as an alternative to the tape measurement method. 19 Disadvantage of the 3D scanning method is time-consuming, expensive and requires expertise.…”

The surgical procedure that lessens edema formation after frenectomy surgery is important.Re-epithelialization with lasers occurs differently from conventional surgery, and this can affect the salivary EGF level. The aim of this study was to determine edema caused by frenectomy surgery and compare the amount of EGF in saliva. Conventional and 810 nm diode laser surgery performed with thirty-four patients. Laser parameters were 400 µm fiber with 2.5 W output energy, in continuous mode.3D face scan data was obtained with a Planmeca Proface Mid device and analyzed with the 3D metrology method using the CloudCompare V2 software. Cephalometric analysis was performed using 2D profile photographs with Geogebra software. Edema measurements were repeated on day 1 (T1), day 3 (T2) and day 14 (T3). All saliva samples were collected at T1 and T3 and salivary EGF concentration was determined using the ELISA method. In conventional surgery, a significant difference was found between ΔT2-T1 and ΔT3-T1 in 3D metrology measurements (p=0.0046). In 2D cephalometric measurements there was significant differences in Angle A T2-T1 vs. Angle A T3-T1 (p=0,0014) and vs. Angle B T2-T1 (p=0,0017) and vs. Angle B T3-T1 (p=0,0087) in conventional surgery. There were no significant changes in edema measurements of laser surgery. The laser frenectomy does not produce edema significantly (p=0,1232). There were no significant changes between groups in salivary EGF measurements (p>0.999). The 810 nm laser surgery produced less edema than conventional surgery. The 810 nm diode laser does not significantly affect salivary EGF.

“…This method was proposed by Amin and Laskin to measure the volume of edema after mandibular tooth extraction; we modified it considering that the edema may intensify in the middle region of the face. Recently, volumetric evaluation on stereophotogrammetry has been frequently performed in the fields of medicine and dentistry [14][15][16] In addition, stereophotogrammetry has been used in many studies, such as those on edema assessment after a third molar extraction and on long-term evaluation of facial volumetric differences after orthognathic surgeries [17][18][19][20].…”

Many techniques have been developed to evaluate facial swelling after maxillofacial surgeries. Patients who undergo surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) develop facial edema more often than those who undergo minor oral surgeries. Reliable systems to assess soft tissue dimensions offer many advantages for documentation and treatment planning across surgical fields. (1) Background: The objective assessment of facial swelling is advantageous as it allows the evaluation of the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the reliabilities of linear measurement method and optical scanning for the objective assessment of facial swelling after SARME. (2) Methods: Sixteen (12 women and 4 men) patients were enrolled. Linear measurements between guide points and facial scans were obtained for the left and right sides preoperatively and 1, 2, and 5 days after SARME. Preoperative values were subtracted from each post-operative value and the differences were compared between the two measurement methods. (3) Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the right and left sides at any time point in the measurements with either method. (4) Conclusions: Recently, stereophotogrammetry has been considered the first choice method for evaluating facial swelling. Furthermore, we found a strong correlation between volumetric analysis and linear measurement at all time points and for both sides.

“…Elastic therapeutic tape, also called kinesiology tape, Kinesio tape, k-tape, or KT, was developed by Dr. K. Kase in the 1970s with the intent of treating pain and disability associated with sports injuries and other physical disorders. When stretched beyond its normal length and applied, it recoils and creates a pulling force on the skin, thus improving blood and lymph flow by alleviating hemorrhage and congestion of lymphatic fluid [14][15][16] . Currently, there is limited evidence of its usefulness in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.…”

Objectives: Kinesiology tape (KT) creates a pulling force on the skin, thus improving blood and lymph flow by alleviating hemorrhage and congestion of lymphatic fluid. The authors hypothesized that the use of KT could be beneficial for the management of complications after head and neck surgery and designed this study to evaluate the effects of KT on swelling, pain, and trismus after enucleation of mandibular dentigerous cysts with third molar extraction. Materials and Methods: Forty patients who underwent enucleation of a dentigerous cyst with extraction of the mandibular third molar were selected. The patients were randomized into two groups (n=20 each): a KT group, where KT was applied after surgery in addition to basic postoperative care, and a control group, where patients received basic postoperative care without KT application. Swelling, pain, and trismus were evaluated before surgery (T0) and on postoperative days 1 (T1), 2 (T2), and 3 (T3). Cyst volume, gauze weight for assessing bleeding, and operation time were recorded. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups in the change in swelling up to T1 and the change in swelling between T1 and T2. The maximum swelling in the KT group was significantly less than that in the No-KT group and maximum swelling appeared faster in the KT group than in the No-KT group. Both groups showed a mild pain response but there was no significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference on interincisal distance change between the two groups. There were no correlations between cyst volume, bleeding, operation time, and maximum swelling. Conclusion: KT can effectively manage facial swelling after oral and maxillofacial surgeries such as cyst enucleation and third molar extraction, thus improving postoperative patient satisfaction levels and quality of life.
