About this study

The objective of this research is to compare the effect of irrigation during impacted mandibular third molar surgery, with normal saline of 25 ± 2 ° C and 37 ± 1 ° C for control and experimental sides, respectively. For this purpose, 40 mandibular impacted third molars will be randomly allocated to two groups and surgically removed with the abovementioned saline temperatures. Finally, the suctioned liquids and duration of the surgeries will be carefully measured and compared between both sides.

Treatment and study plan

Warm Saline Irrigation

Procedure

The objective of this research was to compare the effect of irrigation during impacted mandibular third molar surgery, with normal saline of 25 ± 2 ° C and 37 ± 1 ° C for control and experimental sides, respectively.

Primary outcomes

  1. Amount of Bleeding in Cubic Centimetre

    Time frame: Intraoperatively, up to 30 minutes

    both sides will be irrigated with 200cc of saline and the suctioned liquids will be carefully measured and compared

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of the Surgery in Minutes

    Time frame: Intraoperatively, up to 30 minutes

    both sides will be irrigated with 200cc of saline and the duration of the surgeries will be carefully measured and compared between both sides
