PROPHYLACTIC VS. SYMPTOMATIC THIRD MOLAR REMOVAL: EFFECTS ON PATIENT POSTOPERATIVE MORBIDITY

The present study aimed to assess differences in postoperative morbidity between prophylactic and symptomatic third molar removals, the effect of age on recovery patient. Patients admitted for removal were prospectively followed up four times during treatment context M3BE study. Data collected through pre-, peri surveys (days 3 10). Uni- multivariable logistic regression was used probability symptoms discomfort day 10 according several patient- surgery-related predictive factors (age, gender, indication removal, method extraction, anesthesia number extracted maxillary and/or mandibular molars). In total, 6010 patients with a mean 25.2 (± 11.2) underwent 6347 surgeries have 15,357 molars removed. Frequently observed pain, trismus swelling, all which transient nature steep decreases from days 10. Increasing associated an enhanced risk persistent swelling significantly higher iatrogenic injury inferior alveolar nerve. Symptomatic indications more common over 25 years, but these pre-existing pathologies did not compromise process. Other related female intraoperative osteotomy extractions. results this suggest that there are convincing favor timely preferably before 25, especially order avoid nerve complications.
