Abstract

In this study, evaluation of the early complications that occur after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars was aimed. The study was performed on 68 patients in Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry with the extraction indication of impacted mandibular third molars. After surgical operation pain, edema, trismus, alveolitis, paresthesia on lip and tongue, bleeding, open space on wound, dysphagia were assessed. Parameters were transfered to SPSS Statistical Package for Social Sciences 11,5 program for statistical evaluation and percentage of distributions were obtained. 36 male and 32 female patients were included in the study. 34 right and 34 left a total of 68 impacted mandibular third molars were extracted and the complications were assessed after 3 days. 35% pain, 69% edema, 75% trismus, 4% paresthesia on lip, 1% paresthesia on tongue, 18% dysphagia, 1% bleeding and 6% alveolitis were observed. As a result various complications after impacted mandibular third molar extraction may occur, dentists should have enough knowledge and experience about it

Gömük alt yirmi yaş dişi cerrahisi sonrasında görülen erken dönem komplikasyonlar: Retrospektif değerlendirme

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, alt gömük yirmi yaş dişlerinin çekimini takiben görülen erken dönem komplikasyonların değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nde alt gömük yirmi yaş dişine çekim endikasyonu koyulmuş ve cerrahisi gerçekleştirilmiş olan 68 hasta üzerinde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada ameliyat sonrası dönemde görülen ağrı, ödem, trismus, alveolit, dudak ve dilde his kaybı, kanama, yara yerinde açıklık ve yutkunma zorluğu gibi parametreler değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel değerlendirmeler için veriler SPSS Statistical Package for Social Sciences 11,5 programında bilgisayara aktarılmış ve yüzde dağılımları elde edilmiştir. Araştırmaya 36 erkek ve 32 kadın hasta dâhil edilmiştir. 34 sağ ve 34 sol olmak üzere toplam 68 alt gömük yirmi yaş dişinin çekim sonrası 3. güne kadar meydana gelen komplikasyonları değerlendirilmiş ve %35’inde ağrı, %69’unda ödem, %75’inde trismus, %4’ünde dudakta his kaybı, %1’inde dilde his kaybı, %18’inde yutkunma zorluğu, %1’inde ikincil kanama ve % 6’sında alveolit görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak alt gömük yirmi yaş dişlerinin çekimi sonrasında oluşabilecek komplikasyonların fazla olması nedeniyle hekimin bu konuyla ilgili hangi komplikasyonun hangi durumda olabileceği konusunda yeterli bilgi ve tecrübeye sahip olması gerekmektedir
