Chlorhexidine Plus Hyaluronic Acid Mouthwash in Surgical Wound Healing Following Third Molar Surgery

Evaluation of the response of gingival tissues to the use of mouthwash with chlorhexidine and chlorhexidine + hyaluronic acid in terms of healing of the surgical wound following third molar surgery.

Jaw Muscle Pain Post Wisdom Molar Surgery

The proposed design is a triple-blind, placebo-controlled randomized prospective phase II trial to assess the feasibility of employing the Temporo-masseteric Nerve Block (TMNB) injection to decrease jaw muscle pain, overall pain, improve mouth opening and minimize pain medication consumption. 80 participants undergoing lower third molar removal under sedation will be enrolled. Those who develop significant jaw muscle pain on the following day will be randomized to receive either the TMNB injection or a placebo. Daily ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) will be collected reflecting elements of patient experience for all participants. On Day 8, participants return for an end-of-study evaluation and return their unused pain medications. Up to 40 participants who are randomized to receive TMNB/placebo will be recruited to participate in a qualitative interview regarding their experience.

Lidocaine Patch and Lower Third Molar

* Completed medical and dental history will take for all patients and the position of the impacted teeth will evaluate by panoramic films. Patients will fully inform about the treatment procedures, follow-up examinations and complications of surgical procedures. * Full thickness mucoperiosteal flap will be raised to expose sufficient bone on lateral and distal aspect of the impacted molar. Removal of bone will be done with stainless steel bur under Constant irrigation with normal saline while removing bone to prevent thermal necrosis. * When necessary, sectioning of crown and roots will be performed with a fissure bur. After tooth extraction, the alveolus will be inspected, curetted, and irrigated with 0.9% sterile saline solution. * Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar will be done,1% metformin gel or placebo gel in the socket following removal of the impacted third molar . * The mucoperiosteal flap will be repositioned and sutured with 3-0 black silk suture. * Control side : use transmucosal placebo patch * Study side: use transmucosal lidocaine patch Postoperative care * Postoperatively, the patients were instructed to apply ice bags 20 min/hour for the next 6 hours to the surgical side, eat soft cold diet by the aid of a straw and to avoid hot diet and fluid on the day of surgery. * Sutures were removed after 7 days postoperatively. * All the patients will be evaluated on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days for pain, preoperative and postoperative mouth opening, and degree of postoperative swelling.

Local Metformin Gel and Impacted Lower Third Molar

* Completed medical and dental history will take for all patients and the position of the impacted teeth will evaluate by panoramic films. Patients will fully inform about the treatment procedures, follow-up examinations and complications of surgical procedures. * The study will be carried out as a randomized controlled clinical trial. Randomly, by the use of predefined computer-generated randomization table, the eligible patients will be randomized in equal proportions between Study group: patients will receive 1% Metformin gel in the socket following removal of the impacted third molar and Control group: patients will receive placebo gel 2% hydroxymethyl cellulose.All surgeries will be performed under complete aseptic conditions. Before surgery, the patient's mouth will be rinsed with a chlorhexidine digluconate solution 0.2% for 2 minutes. Surgery will carry out under local anesthesia consisting of 4% articain hydrochloride with 1:100,000 adrenaline. * Full thickness mucoperiosteal flap will be raised to expose sufficient bone on lateral and distal aspect of the impacted molar. Removal of bone will be done with stainless steel bur under Constant irrigation with normal saline while removing bone to prevent thermal necrosis. * When necessary, sectioning of crown and roots will be performed with a fissure bur. After tooth extraction, the alveolus will be inspected, curetted, and irrigated with 0.9% sterile saline solution. * Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar will be done,1% metformin gel or placebo gel in the socket following removal of the impacted third molar . * The mucoperiosteal flap will be repositioned and sutured with 3-0 black silk suture.

Variability in Analgesic Response to Ibuprofen

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, are recommended as first-line treatment for post-surgical dental pain. However, there is variability in analgesic response, and some patients require supplemental opioids for adequate pain relief. The goal of this study is to identify the factors that contribute to the need for opioid after third molar extraction to help limit unnecessary opioid prescriptions in patients who will have good pain relief with ibuprofen alone.

Assessment of Vertical Pattern in Correlation With Third Molar Inclusion : A 3D CBCT Analysis

The objective is to compare the sagittal and vertical skeletal parameters of patients with an impacted third molar. Patients will be analyzed according to their skeletal characteristics: skeletal class (sagittal direction) and facial skeletal typology (vertical direction). The inclusion characteristics of third molars will also be analyzed, to see the links between typology and inclusion. The principal hypothesis is no significant difference in third molar inclusion patterns in relation to skeletal divergence.

Pain Control Following Third Molar Surgery

In this study, the investigators recruited patients undergoing surgical removal of impacted third molar teeth. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups Group 1: The patient will receive 400mg of ibuprofen plus 1000mg of Paracetamol simultaneously every 8 hours for two days. Group 2- The patient will receive 400mg ibuprofen and 1000mg Paracetamol at 4 hours in intervals for two days. With a total of 3 doses of ibuprofen and 3 doses of paracetamol per day Then, pain control will be assessed using various primary and secondary outcome scales.

The Impact of 3D-CBCT Imaging on Nerve Injuries During Wisdom Tooth Surgery

The investigators aim to investigate if the additional information available from a 3D scan of the wisdom tooth can reduce the risk of nerve injury during wisdom tooth surgery compared to conventional 2D images. Wisdom tooth surgery is a common surgical procedures that a significant proportion of the population will undergo. As with any other surgical procedure, there are potential complications, of which, injury to the nerve supplying feeling to the lip, chin, and tongue is the most significant. This can lead to persistent pain, tingling, or numbness that may impact a patient's ability to eat and function. The risk of nerve injury during wisdom tooth surgery is assessed using X-ray images, which show the position of the nerve and tooth in the jawbone. 2D and 3D scans are used, which have their own advantages and disadvantages such as reduced cost and radiation dose with 2D or more information from 3D images, but it remains unclear which is better at reducing the risk of nerve injuries.

Fracture Pattern Following Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy With or Without Impacted Third Molars

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the hypothesis that there are none difference in the treatment result of orthognathic surgery on the lower jaw, with interoperative wisdom tooth removal rather than preoperative wisdom tooth removal. In patients with severe dental malocclusion combined with a dentofacial deformity. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is there a difference in the degree of complication and the patient's perception, with inter-operative wisdom tooth removal rather than pre-operative wisdom tooth removal. Participants will be will be divided into two groups, with one group having their wisdom teeth removed 6 months before their jaw moving surgery and the other group having their wisdom teeth removed in connection with their jaw moving surgery.
