Brief Summary

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

This study will investigate the effects of a platysma muscle exercise on edema following third molar extraction surgery.

Detailed Description

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

The investigators hypothesized that, during the muscle contraction of the platysma, the vascular structures will be subjected to a pump effect, leading to an increase in venous circulation. Additionally, due to its connection to the fascia, the investigators propose that platysma contractions may mobilize the fascia and stimulate the lymph nodes, thereby improving interstitial fluid flow. This could lead to an effective treatment option for decreasing edema after third molar tooth extraction. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of platysma exercises applied after third molar tooth extraction on edema while observing the differences on pain and trismus.
