Third Molars Extraction and Periodontal Disease

The aim of the study is to evaluate the changes in periodontal conditions on the distal aspect of the second maxillary molar after the extraction of the maxillary wisdom tooth. As secondary outcome patient- related and tooth-related factors will be analysed to evaluate their effects on the periodontal varibales during time.

Primary outcomes

  1. Probing Pockeet Depth (PPD)

    Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

    Distance between the free gingival margin and the apical location of the probe's tip.

  2. Bone Level (BL)

    Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

    Distance between the bone crest and the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ)

Secondary outcomes

  2. Clinical Attachment Level (CAL)

    Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

    Distance between the cemento-enamel junction and the apical location of the probe's tip

  3. Recession (REC)

    Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

    Distance between the free gingival margine and the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ)

  4. Keratinized Tissue (KT)

    Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

    Distance between the muco-gingival line and the free gingival margin
