OBJECTIVE: To document the benefits of antibiotic therapy in reducing post-operative complications after removal of asymptomatic mandibular impacted third molar teeth.
METHODS: This prospective study was conducted at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department
Sandiman (provincial) civil hospital Quetta from April 2013 to September 2013. It involved 100
patients with asymptomatic impacted mandibular 3rd molars which were divided randomly in to
two groups. Group A received two gram Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid orally in divided dose
for 5 days. Group B no such therapy added as control. Post-operative complications like Pain,
infection, swelling, limited mouth opening and alveolar osteitis was evaluated by Chi square
test.
RESULTS: The results of current study suggest that vertical impaction is common type of impaction, with no gender variation in prevalence of impaction noted. Post-operative complications in both groups did not show statistically significant difference.
CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that antibiotic didn’t have a significant role in reducing postoperative complications after removal of asymptomatic impacted 3rd molar.
