Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the flap design (between envelope flap and comma flap) which has the least post-op complications such as : pain, edema, trismus, wound dehiscence, any alteration in lingual nerver sensation and alveolar osteitis
Design
Clinical trial with control group, single blinded, split mouth, randomized, on 25 patients (50 patients overall), for randomizing coin flipping is used.
Settings and conduct
On patients whom selected in oral and maxillofacial section of Islamic Azad university of Tabriz two flaps will be designed. comma flap: starting from a point at the depth of stretched vestibular reflection, posterior to the 2nd molar distal aspect, the incision is made anteriorly, to a point below the second molar, from where it smoothly curved up to the gingival crest at the 2nd molar distobuccal line angle. it is continued as a crevicular incision around the distal aspect of the 2nd molar. envelope flap: an incision from external oblique ridge of mandible to 2nd molar middistobuccal line angle will be made. additionally a sulcular incision on 2nd molar distofacial line angle will be made and continued up to 1st molar mesiofacial line angle.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Among patients who admitted in oral and maxillofacial section of Islamic Azad university of Tabriz, faculty of dentistry; 25 patients will be chosen who have bilateral and symmetrical impacted mandibular third molar. based on Pell and Gregory classification, class1,2, A, B tooth will be included. patients with any systemic disease or underlying disease and acute periodontal diseases and those with tooth on class 3,C Pell and Gregory classification will be excluded.
Intervention groups
Comma flap for case group (group A) and envelope flap for control group (group B) will be used
Main outcome variables
Pain; edema; trismus; flap design; wound dehiscence; alveolar osteitis; alteration in lingual nerve sensation

Patients with bilateral and symmetrically impacted mandibular third molar teeth.
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The impacted tooth will assigned into two lingually based comma flap(group A) and envelope flap(group B), by flipping a coin. For choosing which quadrant to start with, also there will be a coin flipping.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
It will be explained to the patients that one distinct flap design will be used for every impacted mandibular third molar on each quadrant. But they will be not informed, which one of those two flap designs will be used on which quadrant.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Pain: post-operative pain will be measured by Visual Analog Scale. In this scale, the patients will be asked to show the intensity of the pain which is experienced by choosing a number(between 0-10) on a horizontal line. Pain in this descriptive scale is categorized to 6 levels: 0= no pain, 1-3= mild pain, 4-5= moderate pain, 6-7= painful, 7-8= sever pain and 10= unbearable pain. The paitients will be asked to report the pain score on its worst severity time on a day.
Timepoint
Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day.
Method of measurement
Visual Analog Scale

2

Description
Edema: the severity of post-operative edema will be measured by the pre-operative difference between the two fixed mandibular angle and lip commissure points on the patients' face and the post-operative one.
Timepoint
Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day.
Method of measurement
The pre-operative difference between the two fixed mandibular angle and lip commissure points on the patients' face and the post-operative one (in milimeter)

3

Description
Trismus: will be measured post-operatively. for this purpose the inter-incisal distance will be measured. if the distance is less than 25 milimiter, the presence of trismus will be considered.
Timepoint
Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day.
Method of measurement
the maximum inter-incisal distance (in milimeter).

4

Description
Wound dehiscence: to a dehiscence more than 1.5 centimeter square, number 3, less than 1 centimeter square, number 2 and less than 0.5 centimeter square, number 1 will be assigned. in case of no dehiscence number 0 will be considered.
Timepoint
Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day.
Method of measurement
the amount of post-operative wound dehiscence (in centimeter square).

5

Description
Alveolar osteitis: will be considered post-operative pain in or around the socket of the extracted impacted tooth or partial/total loss of the blood clot in the socket (yes or no).
Timepoint
Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day.
Method of measurement
post-operative pain in or around the socket of the extracted impacted tooth or partial/total loss of the blood clot in the socket (yes or no).

6

Description
Lingual nerve paraesthesia: in order to evaluate any post-operative injury or paraesthesia to lingual nerve, changes on the lateral surface of tounge will be investigated.
Timepoint
Will be measured on the first, third and seventh post-operative day.
Method of measurement
any post-operative injury,paraesthesia or aneasthesia on the lateral surface of tounge (any changes in sensation , yes and no changes in sensation, no).
