Abstract
Objective: Removing the impacted third molar is the most common surgical procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The removal times and complications can be affected by many factors, and this study evaluated the removal time and complications of the impacted third molar between genders
Methods: This study included 40 patients, 20 female and 20 male patients. In the extraction of impacted third molar teeth with the same operative difficulty score (score 4), operation times and complications were evaluated in terms of gender.
Results: With the descriptive statistical analysis, the average age of the patients was 26.85 ±8.37, the removal time of the female patients was 19.65 ± 10.63 minutes, and the average duration of the male patients was 14.30 ± 5.55 minutes. Postoperatively, 4 (10%) of the patients had alveolitis. Dehiscence was not seen. In the extraction of an impacted third molar with the same operative difficulty score, there was a statistically significant difference between genders in terms of operation time (p
