Abstract

Objective: To examine the effect of Kinesio taping on postoperative trismus, and soft tissue oedema and pain after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.

Materials and methods: Forty patients with impacted mandibular third molars who required surgical extraction were randomly selected and allotted into two groups, a control and a study, and the patients in the study group were applied Kinesio Tape 2m*5m for 3 days postoperatively. In both groups, pain, trismus, and swelling preoperatively and postoperatively on day 3 and day 7 were measured. Facial swelling was measured using a flexible scale, using a five-point measurement, trismus using Vernier callipers, and pain using visual analogue scale.

Results: Forty patients were followed up for 7 days, and swelling, pain, and trismus were measured. Results showed significant improvement in trismus and swelling on postoperative day 3 and 7 in the study group.

Conclusion: The application of Kinesio tape is a non-invasive, easy economical, and medically relevant approach.

第三磨牙阻生手术后肌内效贴贴的效果：一项随机对照试验。

目的：探讨肌内效贴对下颌阻生第三磨牙拔除术后牙关紧闭、软组织水肿及疼痛的影响。材料与方法：随机选择40例需要手术拔牙的下颌阻生第三磨牙患者，分为对照组和研究组，实验组患者术后应用2米*5米的肌内效贴贴3天。两组患者术前、术后第3天、第7天分别测量疼痛、牙关、肿胀情况。面部肿胀采用弹性量表，采用五点测量法，牙牙咬合采用游标卡尺，疼痛采用视觉模拟量表。结果：40例患者随访7 d，测量肿胀、疼痛、牙关。结果显示研究组术后第3天和第7天牙关和肿胀明显改善。结论：肌内效贴是一种无创、简便、经济、符合医学要求的方法。
