Abstract

Background: This paper investigates the relationship betweendifferent types of impactions with postoperativeinflammatory tissue reaction.

Materials & methods: Consecutive patients with only mandibular third molar impactions were included in our study. They were classified by winter's classification. The disimpactions were performed under local anaesthesia. Time for surgery was noted for each surgical procedure. Postoperative inflammatory complication in terms of pain, swelling and trismus were noted.

Results: 150 male patients in the age groupof 18-40 years were studied. Inflammatory tissue reactions were increasing with more operative time. Distoangular and Horizontal impactions were associated with more pain on first 3 days of surgery along with more swelling and trismus. Vertically impacted teeth were associated with least complications.

Conclusion: Post operative morbidity was increasing along with moreoperating time and increase in the depth of mandibular third molar impaction.
