About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Pain and Root Migration Distance After Coronectomy Procedure of Impacted Third Molars Based on Age

The aims of this study were to investigate postoperative pain, edema, and trismus after coronectomy procedure, to assess the risk of endodontic lesion formation at sixth month, and to determine relationship of the root migration distance with age.

Read the detailed description

The roots of impacted lower third molars may be associated with the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). To mitigate this risk and reduce trauma to the patient, a conservative approach involving the removal of the problematic crown portion and leaving the root may be adopted.

This clinical study was conducted between 2021-2022 years and was accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised 2013. All subjects were informed about the study and clinical procedures and provided written consent The study included 73 patients aged between 18-55 years. These patients were divided into two age groups: The first group, consisting of patients aged 18-30. The second group, consisting of patients aged 31-55.

The coronectomy was surgically performed. Postoperative pain, swelling, and interincisal distance were evaluated based on age. Pain was assessed using a 10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) with patients providing ratings before the operation and on the 3rd and 7th postoperative days. The progresion of endodontic lesion was evaluated in 6 months after coronectomy.

The distance of root migration achieved at 6 months after coronectomy was measured by independent examiner. Calibrated panoramic radiographs were used to determine the level of migration.

The statistical analysis of the data obtained in our study was performed using SPSS software The needed statistical analyses were used for comparison of the data. The Levene test was used for comparison of the root migration distances in the age groups. The significance level was set at 0.05.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • coronectomyProcedure or surgery

    The inferior alveolar nerve and buccal nerve were blocked with maxicaine anaesthetic solution (articaine hydrochloride 40 mg, epinephrine hydrochloride 0.006 mg). Incisions were applied uniformly across all patients, and a triangular flap technique was employed. After elevating the flap and exposing the bone, the bone overlying the crown of the tooth was removed using a bone round bur to fully visualize the tooth\'s crown. Once the crown was fully exposed, the crown preparation was initiated at the enamel-dentin junction using a fissure bur. The crown preparation was completed without leaving any sharp edges, and the crown was extracted. Then, the exposed pulp was washed with sterile serum without any further intervention. The surgical area was sutured using 5/0 silk. Analgesic (25 mg of dexketoprofen trometamol twice a day) and antibiotic (125 mg clavulanic acid, 875 mg amoxicilin twice a day) drugs were described.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the mesaurement of root migration distance

    the distance from the enamel-cement line of the adjacent tooth to the remaining root or roots after coronectomy.

    Measured: six months after coronectomy procedure

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the percentage of edema

    percentage of edema was measured extraorally

    Measured: postoperatively 3rd and 7th day after coronectomy

  2. the measurement of the distance of interincisal opening

    maximum interincisal distance was measured using a calliper during the maximum opening of the mouth

    Measured: postoperatively 3rd and 7th day after coronectomy

  3. the pain assessment

    A 10 cm or 100 mm-Visual Analogue Scale was used for assessment. The findings suggested that 100-mm VAS ratings of 0 to 4 mm can be considered no pain; 5 to 44 mm, mild pain; 45 to 74 mm, moderate pain; and 75 to 100 mm, severe pain.

    Measured: postoperatively 3rd and 7th day after coronectomy

Model description
A total of 78 patients were initially included in the study, but five patients were excluded from the study due to their failure to attend regular follow-up visit, resulting in a final analysis of 73 patients (Figure 1). These patients were divided into two age groups: The first group, consisting of patients aged 18-30, included 17 males and 23 females. The second group, consisting of patients aged 31-55, included 17 males and 16 females.
