Evaluation of Two Different Grafting Techniques After Mandibular Impacted Third Molar Surgery

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix and Tricalcium Phosphate Graft Application After Mandibular Impacted Third Molar Surgery in Terms of Periodontal and Osseous Healing Distal to the Second Molar

This study evaluates the effectiveness of using Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix and β-tricalcium phosphate that placed to extraction socket as a graft material in terms of periodontal damage occurred in the distal aspect of the second molar after mandibular impacted third molar surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Medically healthy.
• Periodontally healthy patients.
• Patients with mesioangular or horizontal impacted teeth that will cause periodontal damage at the distal part of the second molar after surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Crowns on second molar teeth.
• Poor oral hygiene.
• Patients with a systemic disease affecting periodontal healing.
• Pregnancy or lactation period.
• Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
• Smokers.
• The cases where the buccal or lingual cortical bone didn't remain intact following the extraction were also excluded.
