简要总结
Evaluation of the patient - Thorough history and clinical examination shall be taken from the patient including details of the associated comorbidities. After thorough Radiographic evaluation and diagnosis difficulty index of the impacted tooth will be assessed bilateral side. Patient will be categorized into test and control group by chit randomization. After randomization in the test group surgical extraction of tooth will be performed on patient under local anaesthesia. Immediately after surgical extraction of tooth skin will be cleaned and three equal strips of kinesio tape to be applied extending from the supraclavicular to the position of highest swelling and in control group intravenous 8mg dexamethasone administration will be given pre operatively as per standard OPD protocol. The test group will not be receiving intravenous dexamethasone administration and only kinesio tape will be applied over the surgical site extra orally. Rescue medications will be given to patient of only test group after the procedure and will be advised to take in case of inadequate control of edema and pain.
At first visit only one side will be addressed, the other side procedure will be done after healing of previously operated area i.e. approximately after 15 days. Post operatively routine antibiotics – tablet Augmentin and metronidazole and analgesics – tablet combiflam will be given for the patients as the standard regimen.
KT is placed along the direction of the lymphatic duct over the sub-mental, submandibular, cervical, pre-auricular, and parotid lymph nodes. All taping procedures will be accomplished by the same operating surgeons. Removal of KT will be done on third postoperative day along with wound inspection and chlorhexidine irrigation as per our OPD routine standard protocol. Measurements of post-operative edema, trismus and assessment of pain will be done twice postoperatively in OPD on POD-3 and POD-7 in both groups.
