About this study

Official title: Comparison of The Surgical Drain Placement With Use of Kinesiologic Tape on Postoperative Pain, Swelling and Trismus in Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Surgery

The investigator's purpose was to compare the effects of the surgical drain and kinesiologic tape applications on postoperative morbidity after mandibular third molar surgery.

Read the detailed description

A total of 90 patients will be scheduled for impacted third molar surgery. The patients will be divided into 3 groups.All surgeries will be carried out by the same surgeon. Group A will be treated with kinesiologic tape, Group B will be treated with a surgical drainage tube and Group C will be control group. After surgery in control group, routine surgical extraction will be performed.The investigators will compare postoperative pain, swelling, trismus and patients' comfort.

The duration of each procedure from the start of the incision to the time of last suture placement will be noted.

Patients are recalled on days 2, 7, 14 postoperative pain, facial swelling, maximum mouth opening, wound dehiscence. For the assesment of the pain, visual analog scale will be used. For the swelling evaluation, measurement will be done from the different three region on the face:

  • Tragus-Pogonion
  • Tragus-Labial Commissura
  • Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus

Maximum mouth opening will be noted before and after (one week later) the surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Kinesiologic Tape GroupProcedure or surgery

    A mucoperiosteal flap will be raised, a conventional rotary handpiece will be used under irrigation for removing the third molar.Primary wound closure will be accomplished using 3-0 silk sutures.The kinesiologic tape will be prepared individually for each patient; it will be cut into three equal strips (approximately 1.6 cm in width) and placed between the clavicle and the tragus-commissura line. The patients will be invited after one week for removing the sutures.

  • Drain GroupProcedure or surgery

    A mucoperiosteal flap will be raised, a conventional rotary handpiece will be used under irrigation for removing the third molar.Primary wound closure will be accomplished using 3-0 silk sutures. A plastic non-customised drain tube (2-cm long, 2-mm diameter) will be inserted into a vertical incision between the first and second molars and sutured to the vestibular mucosa. The patients will be invited after one week for removing the sutures.

  • Control GroupOther

    Routine third molar extraction will be performed. No extra procedures will be done after surgery.

Kinesiologic tape will be removed on the second postoperative day, and all sutures on will be removed on 7. postoperative day.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Swelling will be assessed using paper ruler. Tragus-Pogonion Tragus-Labial Commissura Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus.

    Swelling measurement will be done from the different three region on the face. Tragus-Pogonion Tragus-Labial Commissura Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus. The swelling measurement will be done preoperatively, postoperative 2nd day, 7th day after the surgery.

    Measured: Up to 1week

  2. Pain will be assessed using a visual analogue scale.

    The level of postoperative pain will be evaluated using a 10-cm visual analogue scale , with zero representing no pain and 10 representing excruciating pain. Pain measurement will be done everyday in one week after the surgery.

    Measured: Up to 1week

  3. Trismus will be evaluated using a caliper at maximum mouth opening.

    Trismus will be assessed by measuring the maximum interincisal opening (in millimetres) - the distance between the incisal margin of the upper and lower central incisors. Trismus measurement will be done preoperatively, postoperative 2nd day, 7th day after the surgery.

    Measured: Up to 1week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Kinesiologic Tape Group and Drain Group in people with Impacted Third Molar Tooth, run by Konya Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Swelling will be assessed using paper ruler. Tragus-Pogonion Tragus-Labial Commissura Angulus Mandible-Lateral canthus. (time frame: Up to 1week). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Dec 2019.
