About this study

Official title: Prospective Comparison of Single vs. Staged Extractions: OHRQoL Outcomes for Wisdom Teeth Removal

This single-center prospective cohort study includes patients aged 18-30 years aimed to compare the effects of bilateral extraction of wisdom teeth at a single appointment (Group A) versus two separate appointments (Group B) on patients' oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The primary outcome is Oral Health Impact Profile 14 score, while secondary outcomes included postoperative pain and maximum interincisal opening.

What participants receive

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

  • Single-Session Bilateral Mandibular Third Molar ExtractionProcedure or surgery

    Participants in this group chose to have both of their lower mandibular third molars extracted during a single appointment. This group will be used to compare the impact of single-session extraction on patients' oral health-related quality of life, postoperative pain, and maximum interincisal opening.

  • Two-Session Bilateral Mandibular Third Molar ExtractionProcedure or surgery

    Participants in this group chose to have their lower mandibular third molars extracted during two separate appointments. This group will be used to compare the impact of two-session extraction on patients' oral health-related quality of life, postoperative pain, and maximum interincisal opening.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline oral health-related quality of life at 14 days

    The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire is used to evaluate the participants' oral health-related quality of life. The OHIP-14 is a validated instrument that assesses the perceived impact of oral conditions on an individual's well-being across 14 items, each scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Lower scores indicate better OHRQoL.

    Measured: Baseline, postoperative day 2, day 3, day 7, day 9, and day 14

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from baseline postoperative pain at 14 days

    The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to assess the intensity of postoperative pain experienced by participants. The VAS is a validated tool consisting of a horizontal or vertical line, usually 100 mm in length, with anchor points of "no pain" at one end and "worst imaginable pain" at the other. Participants are asked to mark the point on the line that corresponds to their pain level. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.

    Measured: Postoperative 6th hour, 12th hour, day 2, day 3, day 7, day 9, and day 14

  2. Change in maximum interincisal opening

    Maximum interincisal opening (MIO) is being measured to evaluate trismus, or restricted mouth opening, following the extraction of mandibular third molars. MIO measurements are taken using a ruler to measure the distance between the upper and lower central incisors when the participant opens their mouth as wide as possible. Lower values indicate greater trismus.

    Measured: Baseline and postoperative day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single-Session Bilateral Mandibular Third Molar Extraction and Two-Session Bilateral Mandibular Third Molar Extraction in people with Impacted Third Molar Tooth and Impacted Tooth, run by Marmara University 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 20 Apr 2023. 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. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change from baseline oral health-related quality of life at 14 days (time frame: Baseline, postoperative day 2, day 3, day 7, day 9, and day 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05820867, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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?
