Abstract:
Surgical removal of impacted lower wisdom tooth has become increasingly costly to patient while still
remains as the most common dental surgical procedure that is performed on outpatient basis. In the present
study, a total of 23 patients with impacted lower wisdom tooth were surgically removed under local anaesthesia
by using different irrigating solution namely, normal saline, distilled water and chlorhexidine. The samples
underwent standard operating procedures and medication. Post operative complications in terms of pain,
swelling, infection and delayed wound healing were assessed and compared on Day 1 and Day 7 after surgery.
The result of this study showed that there is no significant difference between the three irrigating solution used in
surgical removal of impacted lower wisdom tooth in terms of postoperative complication. A bigger scale of
research with more samples is recommended to evaluate the most efficacy irrigating solution during surgical
removal of impacted lower wisdom tooth.
