Abstract

Abstract

The pain experienced after 116 operative removals of mandibular third molars was studied in a homogeneous group of patients consisting of 85 healthy university students. Pain was recorded daily on a visual analogue scale during the postoperative week. It was shown that preoperative inflammation and the difficulty and duration of the operation increased the intensity of pain.
