Summary
Background: One of the most frequent surgical operations in dentistry is the surgical
extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which is accompanied by a sequelae of
swelling, trismus, and pain. Various techniques have been employed to either prevent or
reduce these postoperative outcomes.
To the best of our knowledge, few clinical researchers have investigated the effect of local
application of Alvogyl paste and Chlorhexidine gel, in the management of pain, facial
swelling, and trismus resulting from lower third molar surgical extraction.
Aim of the study: The study was meant to compare the effects of 0.2% chlorhexidine gel and
Alvogyl paste on the reduction of the inflammatory reaction caused by the surgical extraction
of the impacted mandibular third molar, which includes pain, facial swelling, and trismus.
