Summary
1\. ABSTRACT This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing the clinical efficacy and safety of four different flap closure techniques in reducing postoperative morbidity (pain, swelling, trismus, wound healing) and improving patient quality of life (GOHAI) following impacted mandibular third molar extraction. The methods include conventional suturing, sutureless technique, surgical drain, and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive, which are commonly used in oral surgery practice. The study aims to scientifically evaluate the effects of each method on patients and to determine the most appropriate clinical approach.
