Objectives: The goal of the study was to investigate the clinical effects of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (500+125 mg) with metronidazole 400 mg administered three times daily (Group I) versus azithromycin 500 mg administered once daily and with metronidazole 400 mg three times daily (Group II) for the prevention of postoperative infection following mandibular third molar surgical removal.
Materials And Methods: The study design was a single-center prospective study. Patients who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery between February 2015 and January 2017 for removal of mandibular third molar were screened, and 108 patients were chosen. One surgeon carried out all procedures. Patients were prescribed antibiotics until the two groups contained a similar number of cases.
Results: Our data showed that Group II had fewer incidences of surgical site infection, but with no statistical significance.
Conclusion: Although both treatments are used routinely after removal of the mandibular third molar, neither is significantly better than the other.

Third molar extraction is one of the most common interventions in oral surgery. It is usually associated with postoperative pain, edema, and trismus. The severity of these sequelae can be related to the amount of surgical trauma and the duration of the extraction.

Surgeons routinely interpret preoperative radiographic images for estimating the shape and position of the tooth prior to performing tooth extraction. In this study, we aimed to predict the difficulty of lower wisdom tooth extraction using only panoramic radiographs. Difficulty was evaluated using the modified Parant score.

This study investigates the efficacy of Kinesio taping (KT) in reducing postoperative discomfort, including edema, trismus, and pain, following mandibular third molar extraction. A prospective randomized split-mouth design was employed, involving 7 patients with impacted mandibular third molars. KT was applied immediately postsurgery, and outcomes were assessed on the third and seventh postoperative days using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, 3D morphometric analysis for swelling, and caliper measurements for trismus.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the contact relationship and position of impacted mandibular third molar teeth (IMM) with the mandibular canal (MC) in panoramic radiography (PR) images using deep learning (DL) models trained with the help of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and DL to compare the performances of the architectures.
Methods: In this study, a total of 546 IMMs from 290 patients with CBCT and PR images were included. The performances of SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet, and Inception-v3 architectures in solving four problems on two different regions of interest (RoI) were evaluated.

: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical efficacy, benefits, and limitations of piezosurgery in tooth extractions compared to conventional methods. Piezosurgery has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative, promoting better preservation of soft tissues and bone structures. Understanding its impact on postoperative outcomes such as pain, swelling, trismus, and bone healing is critical for its application in oral surgery; We restricted our search to English-language articles published between 1 January 2004 and 28 August 2024, in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.
