ASSESSING POSTOPERATIVE DISCOMFORT AFTER THIRD MOLAR SURGERY: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
No full textPurpose The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for severe discomfort after mandibular third molar surgery and to assess the validity of the Postoperative Symptom Severity (PoSSe) scale.
Patients and Methods In a 2-year prospective study, a total of 255 unilateral impacted mandibular third molar teeth were surgically removed under local anesthesia by 3 surgeons. Standardized surgical and analgesic protocols were followed. At the review appointment, 1 week after surgery, all patients returned a completed follow-up questionnaire (PoSSe scale) and were evaluated clinically for postoperative pain (number of painkillers taken) and trismus (differences in mouth opening). Sixteen predictive variables were evaluated using stepwise logistic regression analysis to identify the risk factors associated with severe discomfort.
Results Severe postoperative discomfort was predicted by these independent variables: gender, tobacco use, ramus relationship/space available, and antibiotic prophylaxis. Oral contraceptive use and operation time were not identified as risk factors. The patients’ perceptions of the severity of symptoms (PoSSe scale score) was strongly correlated with clinical assessment of trismus (r = 0.54) and pain (r = 0.42).
Conclusion The PoSSe scale resulted in a valid and responsive measure of the severity of symptoms after surgical extraction of lower third molars and reflected the clinical severity of the postoperative discomfort. From a patient’s perspective, operative factors had little bearing on the quality of life after removal of mandibular third molars

No full textThe overabundance of information produced by new technologies, if on one side can be considered as a knowledge enrichment in planning process, on the other side it has not improved neither reality understanding nor possibilities of intervention. Old forms of citizens participation to planning process, generally based on assemblies, have been replaced by continuous discussions on social networks, blogs, etc..
The attempt to take into account the huge data flow produced everyday, it is not an easy task for planners. An ontologies based approach can represent an important support to such activities.
"Comelicopedia" an European project between Italy and Austria, probably is one of the first experiences in applying ontologies to spatial planning process.
All potentialities in planning and decision making fields will be analyzed and tools, such as "comelicopedia", can become usual in supporting a regulatory dialogue between decision makers and citizens
