Evaluation of the Effects of A-Prf and Oral Dexamethasone Use on Postoperative Complications in Third Molar Tooth Extraction
Evaluation of the Effects of A-Prf and Oral Dexamethasone Use on Postoperative Complications in Third Molar Tooth Extraction
Impacted third molar tooth extraction is one of the most frequently performed procedures in oral surgery. Complications such as pain, swelling and trismus, which are frequently seen after this operation, affect the patient's quality of life in the postoperative period. Today, there are many methods used to prevent or treat these complications. Corticosteroid use and A-PRF biomaterial obtained from the patient's own blood are some of these methods. In patients with bilaterally impacted lower wisdom teeth, A-PRF was applied to one side after extraction and postoperative oral dexamethasone was used to the other side. Intra-group and inter-group evaluations were made by collecting the patients' pain, edema, trismus and analgesic use data.
Impacted third molar tooth extraction is one of the most commonly performed procedures in oral surgery. Complications such as pain, swelling and trismus, which are frequently seen after this operation, affect the quality of life of the patient in the postoperative period and may cause patients to avoid this procedure. Today, there are many methods used to prevent or treat these complications. The use of corticosteroids and the A-PRF biomaterial obtained from the patient's own blood are some of these methods. No study has been found in the literature comparing the effects of oral use of dexamethasone, a corticosteroid drug, with A-PRF on pain, edema, trismus and analgesic use. In patients with bilateral impacted lower wisdom teeth, A-PRF was applied to the extraction site after extraction on one side and postoperative oral dexamethasone was used on the other side. Pain, edema, trismus and analgesic use data of the patients were collected and in-group and intergroup evaluations were made.
