Comparison of the Application Effect of Cross-Shaped Tooth Extraction and Conventional Minimally Invasive Tooth Extraction for Impacted Mandibular Teeth Extraction
Objective To compare the application effect of the cross-shaped tooth extraction and conventional minimally invasive tooth extraction for impacted mandibular teeth.Methods Sixty-six patients with impacted mandibular teeth underwent tooth extraction in the Third People's Hospital of Henan Province from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected,and randomly assigned into two groups,each with 33 cases.Observation group received cross-shaped tooth extraction,while control group adopted conventional minimally invasive tooth extraction.Then the degree of intraoperative pain[visual analogue scale(VAS)],time of tooth extraction,duration of postoperative bleeding,degree of postoperative mouth opening limitation,degree of postoperative facial swelling and the occurrence of postoperative complications were compared between two groups.Results Observation group had lower intraoperative VAS score,shorter tooth extraction time and less postoperative bleeding compared with control group(P<0.05).The degree of mouth opening limitation and facial swelling was milder in observation group than that of control group at postoperative 1 and 3 days(P<0.05).The total incidence rate of postoperative complications such as adjacent tooth injury,temporomandibular joint pain and dry socket in observation group was lower than that in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the minimally invasive extraction method,cross-shaped tooth extraction is more effective in impacted mandibular teeth extraction,which has the advantages of mild intraoperative trauma,short surgical time,mild degrees of postoperative mouth opening limitation and facial swelling and low complication rate,so it is worth promoting.
