Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine how quality of life changes after surgical removal of wisdom teeth

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A significant percentage of patients are subjected to surgical removal of 3. molars every year. The surgical mucosal and osseous procedure may lead to postoperative discomfort including pain, for the patient. Information with respect to how patients regard the impact of this surgical treatment on oral health including pain and swelling is of great interest. More precise information about the postoperative course following this surgery will be beneficial in improving clinical treatment procedures with respect to alleviating the patients' postoperative period.
