Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the rates of complications and identify potential risk factors associated with mandibular third molar extractions in order to enhance understanding and management of these procedures. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a sample of 121 participants who underwent mandibular third molar extractions at a dental clinic. Demographic information, surgical techniques employed, and post-operative complications were collected. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between risk factors (age, gender, surgical technique) and complications. Results: Participants who underwent extraction with flap elevation had a higher complication rate compared to those without flap elevation (p < 0.05). Infection was the most prevalent complication, with a frequency of 13.2%. Age was identified as a potential risk factor, with participants in the age group of 31-40 years being at higher risk (p < 0.05). Gender showed a slight association with complications, although not statistically significant. Conclusion: This study provides insights into the complication rates and potential risk factors associated with mandibular third molar extractions. The findings highlight the importance of careful patient selection, consideration of surgical techniques, and the implementation of infection control measures to minimize complications. Further research is warranted to validate these findings, explore specific surgical techniques, and optimize patient management strategies in oral surgery practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
