Comparison Of The Clinical Efficacy Of Two different Extraction Techniques In The Removal Of Impacted Maxillary Third Molar

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess and compare the effectiveness and efficiency of JOEDD's technique to the conventional forceps' technique in the extraction of a fully erupted maxillary third molar. Materials and Methords: The present study was conducted on 30 patients requiring extraction of fully erupted maxillary third molars attending the Out patient Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The study plan was a prospective single blinded study. The selected patients were randomly placed in to two groups in accordance with randomization plan. JOEDD's technique of extraction was used on Group 1 patients where as Conventional forceps were used for extraction on Group 2 patients. Duration of the procedure, patient compliance, trauma to the surrounding soft and hard tissue were evaluated. Statistical analysis of the recorded and complied data was done. Results: It was observed from the present study on analysis of 30 patients based on parameters showed that JOEDD's technique had minimaltrauma to surrounding soft and hard tissues, time taken for extraction was under 2 minutes and lessroot and tuberosity fractures while compared to the other group of study. Conclusion: For the extraction of maxillary third molar, JEODD's technique has proved to be better in comparison with the conventional maxillary third molar forceps with minimalized complications provided the right selection of cases and techniques are used. Its use can revolutionize the technique of modern usage for the extraction of maxillary third molars.
