SYSTEMIC DISEASE, COMPLICATIONS, ALLERGIES
Patients, aged ≥18 years, without any systemic disease, who had asymptomatic, bilateral, similarly positioned impacted third molar that had been indicated for extraction for orthodontic reasons—i.e., Class 1 or Class 2 according to the Pell and Gregory Classification, vertical or mesioangular according to Winter’s Classification, and showed complete mucosal and partial bone retention—were included in this study. Pregnants, breastfeeders, smokers, and patients who failed to attend postoperative follow-up visits, took additional medications, had allergies, and experienced unusual complications were excluded from the study.
