简要总结
This study will investigate the effects of a platysma muscle exercise on edema following third molar extraction surgery.
详细描述
The investigators hypothesized that, during the muscle contraction of the platysma, the vascular structures will be subjected to a pump effect, leading to an increase in venous circulation. Additionally, due to its connection to the fascia, the investigators propose that platysma contractions may mobilize the fascia and stimulate the lymph nodes, thereby improving interstitial fluid flow. This could lead to an effective treatment option for decreasing edema after third molar tooth extraction. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of platysma exercises applied after third molar tooth extraction on edema while observing the differences on pain and trismus.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention
Participants in this group will perform exercises of the platysma muscle after third molar extraction surgery.
干预措施: Platysma Exercise Group (Other)
Control (Usual treatment)
Participants in this group will undergo routine treatment after third molar extraction surgery.
干预措施: Control (Standard treatment) (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Facial Edema
时间窗: Change of facial edema from baseline to 7 days
Edema will be measured by taking five distinct facial measurements using a standard plastic tape measure (accuracy ±0.5 mm), ensuring the tape makes contact with the skin. The following measurements will be recorded: (a) the distance between the most posterior point of the tragus and the most lateral point of the lip commissure; (b) from the tragus to the chin mid point; (c) from the tragus to the lateral canthus of the eye; (d) from the lateral canthus to the lowest point of the mandibular angle; and (e) from the mandibular angle to the middle of the nasal bone.
次要结局
- Pain following third molar extraction(Change in pain scores from baseline to 7 days)
- Trismus(Change of trismus from baseline to 7 days)
