Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of four different types of mouthwash on socket healing after surgical extractions in male or female patients aged 18 years and older who have a unilateral impacted mandibular third molar indicated for extraction. The main questions it aims to answer are: The effect of Bone Bioactive Liquid (BBL) mouthwash, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) mouthwash, the Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) mouthwash and Warm Saline Mouth Rinse (WSMR) on socket healing after surgical extractions. The effect of BBL mouthwash, HA mouthwash, the CHX mouthwash and WSMR on patient related factors and their quality of life. Recruited Participants will be randomized into four intervention groups: 1. First group will receive BBL mouthwash. 2. The second group will receive CHX mouthwash. 3. The third group will be prescribed HA mouthwash. 4. The fourth group will receive Warm Saline Mouth Rinse.
