Non-infectious complications such as post-extraction pain, trismus, and swelling are extremely common after impacted wisdom tooth removal. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of using kinesio tape on the level of the postoperative swelling of soft tissues, trismus, and pain in patients undergoing the surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar. One hundred patients undergoing the surgical extraction of a lower wisdom tooth were randomly divided into two groups: a study group with kinesio taping (KT) ( = 50) and a control group without kinesio taping (NKT) ( = 50). The surgical procedure was performed according to the same repeatable scheme. Kinesio tape was applied immediately after surgery in the KT group. In both groups, measurements of swelling, trismus, and pain were performed before the surgery and on the third and seventh postprocedural days. Kinesio tape had a significant effect on the decrease in facial swelling on the third day after surgery and a decrease in trismus and pain severity levels on the third and seventh days after surgery. The kinesio tape method is non-invasive, continuously active throughout the entire application period, and requires no additional patient appointments. KT application is an effective method for reducing postoperative edema, pain, and trismus after impacted mandibular wisdom teeth surgery.
非感染性并发症，如拔牙后疼痛、牙关紧闭和肿胀，在阻生智齿拔除后极为常见。本研究的目的是评估使用肌内效贴布对接受下颌阻生第三磨牙手术拔除的患者术后软组织肿胀程度、牙关紧闭和疼痛的影响。100例接受下颌智齿手术拔除的患者被随机分为两组：肌内效贴布组（KT组）（n = 50）和无肌内效贴布对照组（NKT组）（n = 50）。手术按照相同的可重复方案进行。KT组在手术后立即应用肌内效贴布。两组均在手术前以及术后第3天和第7天测量肿胀、牙关紧闭和疼痛情况。肌内效贴布对术后第3天面部肿胀的减轻以及术后第3天和第7天牙关紧闭和疼痛严重程度的降低有显著效果。肌内效贴布方法是非侵入性的，在整个应用期间持续发挥作用，且无需患者额外就诊。应用肌内效贴布是减轻下颌阻生智齿手术后术后水肿、疼痛和牙关紧闭的有效方法。
