简要总结
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of Kinesio Taping on post-operative recovery following surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. Patients undergoing lower wisdom tooth extraction will be randomly allocated into two groups: one receiving elastic therapeutic taping (Kinesio Tape) over the jaw area, and the other receiving standard post-operative care. The study will compare outcomes such as swelling, pain, and mouth opening during the recovery period to assess whether Kinesio Taping improves healing and reduces post-operative complications.
