Back ground: surgical extraction of third molar is one of the most commonly used routine procedure in oral surgery. Complications like pain, swelling and trismus are seen in dis impaction cases. Wound closure technique is an operative factor that influences early post-operative complications, after lower third molar surgery. Aim: To study and evaluate the effect of multiple sutures versus suture less technique in 3rd molar extraction followed by inflammatory complication. Method: 60 patients with impacted lower third molar were selected for the study. Patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 30 patients treated with suture after extraction and group 2 consisted of 30 patients treated without suture after extraction. Pain, swelling and trismus were evaluated at 24 h, 48 h and 1 week postoperatively in both groups. Result: Result showed that pain, swelling and trismus were less with the suture-less technique at the 24 and 48 h postoperative reviews (p < 0.05). At the 1week postoperative evaluation period there was no difference in terms of these parameters between the two techniques (p > 0.05). Conclusion: suture less technique can be successfully used in treatment of lower third molar extraction.
