Abstract
Background: The extraction of the impacted third molar is a common oral surgical procedure; and it is often attended by complications, which are distressing to patients. Pain, trismus and swelling are common complications reported, and they are thought to arise from inflammatory response which is a direct and immediate consequence of the surgical procedure. Hence; we planned the present study to assess various complications in patients undergoing third molar extractions. Materials & methods: The present investigation included assessment of various postoperative complications in patients undergoing third molar extractions. A total of 300 patients were included in the present study. Complete hematological investigations were carried out in all the patients. Detailed clinical and medical history of all the patients was also obtained. Local anesthesia was administered and all the extraction procedures were carried out under the hands of skilled oral surgeons. Patients were followed up for recording the postoperative complications. Results: Most commonly observed postoperative complications in the present study were pain and swelling. Other complications seen were trismus, dry socket and paresthesia. Conclusion: Occurrence of postoperative pain and swelling are the most common complications in patients undergoing third molar extractions.
