Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of "round collar flap" in the removal of completely impacted maxillary wisdom teeth. Methods: A total of 70 patients with maxillary impacted wisdom teeth were selected in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Stomatological Hospital of Wuhan University from June 2020 to December 2020. According to random number table method, they were divided into observation group and control group, with 35 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with "round collar flap", while the control group was treated with traditional angular flap. The incision suture time and wound healing were compared between two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in the wound healing between both groups, however, the incision suturing time of observation group was significantly shorter than that of control group. Conclusion: Compared with traditional angle flap, wound of "round collar flap" is easier to suture, and the knot of "round collar flap" is easier to remove and is harder to omit.
