“…Another explanation for the findings relative to those of our previous study is the fact that in the present study the surgeon used a standard non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug to reduce the intensity and the duration of postoperative pain. This may have helped to reduce possible discomfort and emotional distress caused by physical post-operative complications (inflammation, swelling, pain and other predictable sequelae following tissue injury) and thus prevented the development of psychological complications following treatment 12 . An even more plausible explanation is that the third molar surgery as performed in the present study was not 'traumatic' enough, was only traumatic for a relatively small portion of patients, or was that only in case certain circumstances were met.…”

“…Schultze-Mosgau et al [6] studied the combined usage of oral ibuprofen and revealed that combined usage of these two drugs decreased the edema by 56 % and pain by 67 % compared with the control group. Buyukkurt et al [17] determined that the intramuscular injection of a single dose of the combination of prednisolone and diclofenac immediately after surgery was well suited to treat postoperative pain, trismus, and swelling, and they recommended that it be used when extensive postoperative swelling of soft tissue is anticipated.…”

“…Measurement tools mentioned in the literature have included visual analog scales, trismus recordings, standardized stereo-radiographic or photographic measurements, computerized tomography, modified face bow devices, ultrasonography, facial plethysmographs, or various other means of taking direct facial measurements. In the present study, a modification of the tape-measure method as described by Schultze-Mosgau et al [6][7][8], two measurements were made between three reference points: the tragus, pogonion and corner of the mouth. The preoperative sum of the two measurements was considered as the baseline for that side.…”

Purpose In this study we assessed the clinical efficacy of sub-mucosal injection of ketamine at sub-anesthetic dose of 0.5 mg/kg on post-operative pain, swelling and trismus following surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. Methods Forty bilaterally symmetrical impacted mandibular third molars in 20 patients who required surgical removal were included in the study. Within the same individual, one of the sites received a test medication whereas the other site was used as control. All patients received nerve blocks with local anesthetic (2 % lignocaine hydrochloride with 1:80,000 adrenaline); the Test group received sub-mucosal infiltration of 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine hydrochloride (without preservative) around the impacted mandibular third molar and along the incision line, while the Placebo group received normal saline infiltration, 10 min before placement of the incision. Results The pain scores on VAS at 30 min, 1, 4, 12 h and 1 day post-operatively was significantly lower in the Test group than in the Placebo group (p \ .05). With respect to facial swelling and mouth opening the Test group and Placebo group showed overall no statistically significant difference (p [ .05) on the 1st, 3rd and 7th post-operative days. Conclusion The sub-mucosal injection of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine administered before surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars was found to be effective in significantly reducing post-operative pain for the first 24 h.

“…VAS scores (0-10 points) were evaluated at postoperative 2, 6, and 12 hours and 2, 4, and 7 days. We modified the method described by Schultzemosgau et al (16) to assess edema in the jaw and the face: 6 fixed points and 5 surgical baselines were marked on the patient's face while the mouth was closed, and the distances between the points were measured using a string. Measurements were made immediately before surgery and at 2 and 7 days postoperatively.…”

Objective: Individual preference of using right or left hand for doing various hand workings, is the most easily observable form of the cerebral lateralization. It was stated that, among the right or left hand dominant individuals, there is an immunological asymetry, and a difference in motor control, visuospatial skills, and in the incidence of a number of disease. The aim of the study was to investigate pain, edema, trismus following the mandibular third molar extraction in patients with different hand preference. Amaç: Bireyin çesitli el işlerini yapmak için sağ veya sol elini tercih etmesi serebral lateralizasyonun en kolay gözlenebilen şeklidir. Sağ veya sol eli dominant olan kişiler arasında motor kontrol, vizyospasyal görevleri yerine getirmede, çeşitli hastalıkların görülme insidansında farklılıklar ve immün asimetri olduğu söylenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, mandibular 3. molar çekimini takiben görülen ağrı, ödem, trismusun el tercihi farklı olan hastalarda değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, sağ ve sol mandibular gömülü üçüncü molar dişlerin çekiminin gerekli olduğu 43 hasta dahil edildi. Aynı hastadan sağ ve sol mandibular gömülü diş çekimi 30 gün arayla yapıldı. 4 hasta grubu oluşturuldu; 1) El tercihi sol-sağ (sağ mandibular 3.molar dişi çekilen) 2) El tercihi sol-sol 3) El tercihi sağ-sağ 4) El tercihi sağ-sol. Ağrı, ödem ve trismusun operasyondan önce ve sonra karşılaştırılması için ölçümler yapıldı.
