The aim of this prospective study was to compare the effects of a surgical tube drain with kinesiologic tape (KT) application on postoperative complications such as trismus, swelling, and pain after impacted third molar surgery.
This single-center, randomized study included 90 patients divided into 3 groups. After impacted third molar removal, 30 patients were treated with a tube drain (drain group), 30 patients were treated with KT application (KT group), and 30 patients were treated with a routine surgical operation and no extra procedure (control group).
A total of 29 male and 61 female patients were included. Mouth opening was greatest in the drain group over a period of 7 days. Patients in the control group had more pain than those in the drain and KT groups. No statistically significant difference was found in terms of pain and swelling between the drain and KT groups over the 7-day period of the study. The tube drain was found to improve patients' quality-of-life compared with the KT and control groups.
Although the effects of a tube drain and KT in terms of pain and swelling were similar, the tube drain was more effective in reducing postoperative complications.
本前瞻性研究旨在比较手术引流管与肌内效贴布（KT）应用对阻生第三磨牙拔除术后诸如牙关紧闭、肿胀和疼痛等并发症的影响。
这项单中心随机研究纳入了90例患者，分为3组。在拔除阻生第三磨牙后，30例患者接受引流管治疗（引流组），30例患者接受KT应用治疗（KT组），30例患者接受常规外科手术且无额外操作（对照组）。
共纳入29例男性和61例女性患者。在7天的时间里，引流组的张口度最大。对照组患者比引流组和KT组患者疼痛更明显。在研究的7天期间，引流组和KT组在疼痛和肿胀方面未发现统计学上的显著差异。与KT组和对照组相比，发现引流管可改善患者的生活质量。
尽管引流管和KT在疼痛和肿胀方面的效果相似，但引流管在减少术后并发症方面更有效。
