Abstract:

Objective To study the nursing methods and its effect in mandibular mesioangular impacted third molar extraction with reversal high-speed air turbine. Methods 60 patients with mandibular mesioangular impacted third molar were selected in this study, who were treated in Department of Senior Dentists, West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University, between June to December 2010. They were randomly and equally divided into control group and experimental group（n=30）. The former was treated with tradition chisel splint method while the latter was treated with reversal high-speed air turbine extraction and provided appropriate nursing interventions. Postoperative reactions and wound healing status were evaluated through consultation. Results There were significant differences between
control group and experimental group in terms of postoperative bleeding wound, swelling, dry socket and so on（P<0.05）. Conclusion Mandibular mesioangular impacted third molar extraction with reversal high-speed air turbine is effective, and the corresponding nursing measure is worthy further promotion.

Key words: reversal high-speed air turbine, mandibular mesioangular impacted third molar, nursing care
