Description
Summary:Impacted mandibular third molar extraction is one of temporomandibular joints disorders causal factor. The symptoms such as pain and limitation of mouth opening in mandibular movements are showed 1 week after extraction. The limitation of mouth opening can be examined using temporomandibular opening index. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of impacted mandibular third molar extraction on the temporomandibular opening index. Fifteen patients from oral surgery clinic of RSGM Prof. Soedomo FKG UGM, who wanted to extract their impacted mandibular third molar were involved in this experiment. Active and passive mouth opening were measured before extraction and 1 week after extraction. Mouth openings then were calculated into the temporomandibular opening index�s formulation. Results of paired t-test showed statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between temporomandibular opening index before extraction (2.25% ± 0.74%) and 1 week after extraction (13.49% ± 4.02%). As for the conclusion, the decreasing of active mouth opening as a symptom of temporomandibular disorders on impacted mandibular third molar extraction has increased the temporomandibular opening index.
