Comparison of The Surgical Drain Placement With Use of Kinesiologic Tape
Comparison of The Surgical Drain Placement With Use of Kinesiologic Tape
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.
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.
