Details and patient eligibility

About

The tooth of the patient who applies to the clinic for the impacted wisdom tooth will be classified according to Escoda's difficulty classification. Before the extraction, patients' interincisal, tragus-commissural, and lateral canthus-angulus distances, Oral Health Impact Profile -14 (OHIP-14) scores, and serum levels of CRP and D-Dimer will be measured.

Operation time will be recorded. After the operation, on 4th-day patients' patients' interincisal, tragus-commissural, and lateral canthus-angulus distances, Oral Health Impact Profile -14 (OHIP-14) scores, and serum levels of CRP and D-Dimer and Visual Analogue Scale (for pain) scores will be measured and recorded. On the 10th day, all these measurements will be repeated.

All recorded data will be evaluated for possible correlations based on extraction difficulties.
