Objective: The purpose of this prospective, randomized, split-mouth clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of sutureless healing after surgical removal of impacted maxillary third molars. Material and Methods: Sixty patients, aged between 18-40, with symmetrical positioned bilateral impacted maxillary third molars, were included. According to Pell and Gregory's classification of depths, patients were divided into 3 groups, each containing 20 patients. After surgeries, one side was primarily sutured; the other side was left unsutured for secondary healing. Operation times and postoperative complications including pain, oedema, alveolar osteitis, infection and excessive bleeding were examined for each side. Results: Operative time was higher in all sutured wounds. Pain was higher in Class-B sutured wounds during the 6th, 12th hours compared to Class-B unsutured wounds; however, no significant difference was observed between sutured and unsutured wounds in Class-A and Class-C. Postoperative oedema, alveolar osteitis, bleeding and infection values presented no significant difference between sutured and unsutured wounds in all impaction groups. All wounds healed at 1- week follow-ups. Conclusion: We are of the opinion that regardless of impaction degree; unsutured secondary healing for intraoral wounds may be a safe technique for upper impacted third molar surgery. Due to the fact that operative time is shortened, it might increase patient satisfaction.

Amaç: Bu prospektif, randomize, bölünmüş-ağız klinik çalışmanın amacı, maksiller gömülü üçüncü molar diş cerrahisi sonrası sütürsüz iyileşmenin etkilerini değerlendirmekti. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 18-40 yaş arası, çift taraflı simetrik pozisyonlu maksiller gömülü üçüncü molar dişlere sahip 60 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Pell ve Gregory'nin gömülülük sınıflamasına göre, hastalar 20 kişilik 3 gruba ayrıldı. Ameliyatlardan sonra rastgele bir taraf birincil iyileşme sağlamak amacıyla dikildi; diğer taraf ikincil iyileşme sağlamak amacıyla dikişsiz olarak bırakıldı. İki ameliyat sahası için ayrı olacak şekilde, ameliyat süreleri ve ağrı, ödem, alveoler osteit, enfeksiyon ve aşırı kanama gibi ameliyat sonrası komplikasyonlar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Tüm sütürlü yaralarda ameliyat süresi daha fazlaydı. Altıncı ve 12. Saatlerde Pell ve Gregory B Sınıfı süturlu yaralarda ağrı, sütursuz yaralara göre daha yüksekti; bununla birlikte, Pell ve Gregory A-Sınıfı ve C-Sınıfında süturlu ve sütursuz yaralar arasında anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi. Postoperatif ödem, alveolit, kanama ve enfeksiyon değerleri, tüm gömülülük gruplarında sütürlü ve sütürsüz yaralar arasında anlamlı bir farklılık göstermedi. Tüm yaralar 1 haftalık takiplerde iyileşme gösterdi. Sonuç: Gömülülük derecesi ne olursa olsun; maksiller gömülü üçüncü molar dişler için sekonder iyileşme, güvenli bir teknik olabilir. Ameliyat süresinin kısalması nedeniyle hasta memnuniyetini artırabilir.
