Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of modified incision in the extraction of maxillary middle or low position completely impacted teeth. Methods: Fifty patients with maxillary completely impacted teeth were selected in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Stomatological Hospital of Fujian Medical University from March 2020 to March 2022. According to random number table method, they were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was treated with modified incision flap, while the control group was treated with traditional angular flap. The incision suture time, swelling, wound healing, opening degree, and suture removal time were compared between two groups, and the pain difference was evaluated between 2 groups using the simplified McGill pain questionnaire. Results: The suture time and suture removal time in the experimental group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). Two days after surgery, the pain in the experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the swelling, wound healing, and opening degree between experimental group and control group (P>0.05). Conclusion: The modified incision flap can shorten the suture time and suture removal time significantly. Besides, it can reduce postoperative pain, which improves patient comfort and is worthy of clinical promotion.
