Introduction
Third molars are the most susceptible to impaction because they
are the last teeth to erupt, so they do not fnd enough space to
erupt [1]. Extraction of impacted third molars is the most com-
mon surgical procedure in the dental clinic (Brad and Jafoo) of-
ten characterized by the following period. Surgical extraction of
third molars in the presence of edema, hemorrhage and pain [2]
Although suturing is the common traditional method for round-
ing wound edges in impacted molars, it has many disadvantages
as it can cause a permanent effect of the sutures, Swelling in the
wound and injury as a result of needle insertion in addition to
reactions due to the presence of a foreign body, the formation of
granules and isolates in tissues and infection [3]. Various alterna-
Abstract
Background: There is various wound closure techniques have been used in medical literatures like traditional non-absorbable
sutures and advanced modalities, suchas synthetic absorbable sutures, surgical staples and tissue adhesives. Suturing has been
the conventional method for approximating wound margins. However,suturing has many disadvantages leading to various
alternative material closure options.
This need to an interest in tissue adhesives such as new generation of cyanoacrylate which has unique properties lead us to
focus on this technique in our study.
Aim: Evaluation the effcacy of the adhesive tissue(iceberg-glue) in minimizing the post-operative bleeding and pain after
surgical removal of impacted lower third molars.
Materials and Methods: Sample size consisted of 19 patients with bilateral and symmetrical impacted lowers third molars
were included in this randomized, split-mouth study.
Patients with any pre-existing pathology or systemic disease were excluded.
On one random side were surgically closure using silk suture (3-0) (group A), and using an adhesive tissue on the contralateral
side (groupB). The comparison of the post-operative bleedingevaluation rated from (3hours, 6hours, 9hours, 12hours) post
surgically, and post-operative pain evaluation in (one, third, and seven days) post surgically, the bleeding and pain assessment
according to VAS scales.
Result: Bleeding assessment according to Mann-Whitney U test,the outcome reveals statistically signifcant differences for
adhesive group in the (3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours) after surgery in adhesive tissue group (p<0.05) where as there is no signifcant
difference in (12 hours) after surgery between two groups (p>0.05), pain assessed according to T-student test which reveals
statistical signifcant differences in the one and third days post surgically for adhesive group and there is no differences in the
seven days between the two groups.
Conclusion: The iceberg-gluehas a signifcant and effective effect on hemostasis after surgical extraction of impacted lower
molars compared with traditional suture with 3-0 silk thread.
