Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate edema using two different methods after mandibular impacted third molar surgery and compare these methods with each other.
Materials and Methods: The mandibular impacted third molar teeth in the mesioangular position of the patients were extracted by the same surgeon with the same technique under local anesthesia using rotary instruments with 0.9% saline irrigation. Edema measurements were made on preoperative, postoperative 2nd and postoperative 7th days. Two methods were used to evaluate the edema. In the first method, the distances between certain points on the face were measured by the physician with the help of a paper ruler. In the second method, the edema scale was given to the patients. With the help of this scale, the patients evaluated postoperative swelling themselves. The correlation between two methods was examined. Approval for the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Dentistry. (Approval number: 2018-05)
Results: Sixty patients (26 females and 34 males) were included in this prospective study (Mean age: 22.39 ± 6.09 years) There was no correlation between the physicians’s measurements and the patient’s scoring. (p>0.05)
Conclusion: In the evaluation of edema in the postoperative period, the edeme scale, which is filled in accordance with the subjective evaluation of the patient, was not sufficient alone. Edema should be by measuring the distance between specific points on the face.
