Evaluation of Complications Following Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Extraction in Patients with Different Hand Preference
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: Individual preference of using right or left hand for doing various hand workings, is the most easily observable form of the cerebral lateralization. It was stated that, among the right or left hand dominant individuals, there is an immunological asymetry, and a difference in motor control, visuospatial skills, and in the incidence of a number of disease. The aim of the study was to investigate pain, edema, trismus following the mandibular third molar extraction in patients with different hand preference. Materials and Methods: Forty-three patients who were indicated for bilateral surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars were included in the study. The interval between the extraction of the right and left molars of the patient was 30 days. The patients were divided into four groups; 1) left handed-right (right third molar), 2) left handed-left, 3) right handed-right, and 4) right handed-left. Measurements were made for comparison of pain, edema and trismus before and after operation. Results: The statistical significance was not observed between the groups regarding the pain, edema and trismus (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results suggest that severity of pain, edema and trismus may not be related to the hand preference following the right and left mandibular third molar extraction. Extended studies demonstrating an extent of an influence of hand preference in the complications of oral surgery, could be useful for planning the surgical interventions as well as for treatment results in maxillofacial surgery.
