The objective and subjective evaluation of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors on predicting the difficulty of the removal of mandibular impacted third molars

The success rate of the mandibular wisdom teeth is depend on both the technical results and patient satisfaction. Before the operation a detailed radiographical and clinical evaluation should be made. Through this data some precautions should be added to the therapy. Patients should be informed about potential intraoperative and postoperative complications. Tahat?s why the difficulty of removal of mandibular wisdom teeth must be evaluated. In this investigation our ame is to create a new difficulty scale in order to reduce the complication rates of the removal of the wisdom teeth. We decided to compare four different types of diffıculty parameter to prove the realiability of our new difficulty scale. In this investigation there is 100 patients evaluated including 61 women and 39 men. The patients? ages are between 18 and 47 years.before the operation the anatomic factors were evaluated on panoromic radiographs. After that the difficulty scale designed on an 100 mm VAS scale was filled. The demographic, anotomic and operative factors were evaluated and the difficulty scale was filled. The beginning and ending time of the operation were noted. At last a new 100 mm difficulty scale as VAS wasfilled. Thorough these data a new difficulty scale model was evaluated.
