Monday, Jumad-Thani 1st, 1446H, December 2nd, 2024, the candidate researcher/
Sohaib Ezzi Dhaif-Allah SENAN
Obtained the Master degree in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with an Excellent average, from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Sanaa University, for her Master’s thesis entitled:
Comparative of Piezoelectric and Conventional Osteotomy for Lower Third Molar Impaction Extraction with Submucosal Dexamethasone Injection
The discussing committee consisted of:
♦ Professor Dr. Abdullah Hassan FARHAN, Principle Supervisor Committee Member,
♦ Professor Dr. Sam Abdel-Karim DAER, Internal Examiner Committee Member, and
♦ Associate Professor Dr. Ahmed Saleh AL-KHATARY, External Examiner Head of Committee.
This Master’s thesis aims at comparing the effectiveness of piezo-surgery and rotary techniques individually, as well as assessing the combined impact of piezo-surgery and conventional osteotomy with submucosal dexamethasone injection on the postoperative outcomes following surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars.
The study comes out with some results: The piezo-surgery time is longer than the conventional rotatory surgery. There exist significant differences clearly seen on day 3 amongst the four groups of the study: the p-value is less than the significance level of the traditional method. The pain levels without dexamethasone are larger than those cases who are submitted to dexamethasone injection. Concerning swelling, there exist significant differences on day 2 amongst the study groups. There are no statistically significant differences in the level of trismus on all days amongst the study groups.
The researcher presents a number of recommendations at the end of this study: the use of submucosal dexamethasone injection with conventional and electrosurgical osteotomy is beneficial for alleviating post-operative complication after removal of impacted third molar surgery.
Attendees of the session were a number of academics, researchers, interested students of the major, as well as the researcher’s colleagues and some of family members.
