The Use of Manuka Honey to Improve Healing After Third Molars Surgery

The Effect of Topical Application of Manuka Honey on Healing After Extraction of Impacted Lower Third Molars: A Split-Mouth Design Randomized Controlled Trial

Postoperative Symptom Severity (PoSSe) Scale will be used for this variable. The patient will be asked to fill in a questionnaire on the 7th day following surgery. This questionnaire is used to assess postoperative discomfort in patients who have third molars extracted. PoSSe Scale consists of 7 sub-scales that investigate the patient's ability to enjoy food; speak properly; perceive altered sensations, appearance, pain, and sickness; and interference with daily activities.

In order to assess facial swelling, the distances between the labial commissure and the tragus, and between the lateral canthus and the gonion will be measured.
The change between 3 days and before surgery will give an idea about the amount of swelling that occurred following surgery.
Between 3 days and 7 days will give an idea about the change that occurred in this period.

Mouth opening range will be assessed by measuring the distance between the upper and lower incisors using a vernier caliper when the patient is asked to open his/her mouth as much as possible.
The presence of limited opening of the mouth is an indication of trismus.

using a Visual Analog Scale of Faces (VASoF).

The presence of a dry socket condition will be checked out at two time points.

This will be assessed using Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Hounsfield Units will be used to quantify bone density and quality.

This will be assessed using panoramic radiographs
