Inability to work after mandibular third-molar surgery was studied in 201 patients operated on in a specialist clinic. Mean indicated inability to work was 1.07 days; 95% confidence interval, 0.91-1.23 days; range, 0-6 days. Eighty-six (43%) patients did not indicate any reduction in working ability. Duration of operation more than 14 min, heavy smoking (> 19 cigarettes/day), and female sex were associated with prolonged inability to work. Self-administered analgesic consumption and pain scores over the first postoperative week showed positive correlations with inability to work: r = 0.44 and 0.41, respectively. Other indicators of the normal postoperative reaction were to a lesser extent associated with reduced ability to work. Total sick-leave cost in Norway associated with surgical third-molar removals, adjusted for age-related income, employment rate, treatment rate, and provider of treatment, was 46.4 million NOK per year.
对一家专科诊所进行下颌第三磨牙手术的201例患者术后的工作能力进行了研究。平均术后无法工作的天数为1.07天；95%置信区间为0.91 - 1.23天；范围为0 - 6天。86例（43%）患者表示工作能力未出现任何下降。手术时间超过14分钟、重度吸烟（>19支/天）以及女性与术后无法工作的时间延长有关。术后第一周自行服用镇痛药的量和疼痛评分与无法工作呈正相关：相关系数分别为0.44和0.41。术后正常反应的其他指标与工作能力下降的相关性较小。在挪威，经年龄相关收入、就业率、治疗率和治疗提供者调整后，与外科拔除第三磨牙相关的病假总成本为每年4640万挪威克朗。
