Evaluation of the Effect of Tea Tree and Chlorhexidine Mouthwashes on Healing After Third Molar Extraction

Sponsor: Harran University

Summary

The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the effects of mouthwashes containing Chlorhexidine and tea tree oil on edema, pain, and trismus after the extraction of impacted third molars. Additionally, the effects on periodontal health will be examined by comparing the gum healing processes of patients using both mouthwashes.The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Tea tree oil, said to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, could be an alternative to chlorhexidine in reducing postoperative complications after impacted tooth extraction. 2. Does tea tree oil, which has antimicrobial effects, have as positive an impact on periodontal health as chlorhexidine?Researchers will compare tea tree oil to chlorhexidine (routinely prescribed after the extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth) to see if tea tree oil works to decrease postoperative complications. Participants will: For 7 days after the operation, they will gargle with chlorhexidine mouthwash or mouthwash containing tea tree oil 3 times a day. They will come to the clinic for check-ups and measurements on the 2nd and 7th days after the operation. They will record their pain levels and the number of painkillers they take daily.
