RESUMO
The aim of this systematic review was to compare the triangular and envelope flaps in mandibular third molar surgery with regard to pain, oedema, and trismus. Secondary outcomes assessed were dehiscence, ecchymosis, alveolar osteitis, periodontal condition, and surgical time. The PRISMA guidelines and recommendations in the Cochrane Handbook were followed, and the review was registered before commencement (PROSPERO; CRD42018112373). The literature search was conducted in the Web of Science, PubMed, Virtual Health Library, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases and in the grey literature; randomized clinical trials, indexed through November 2018 were included. Three reviewers independently examined the studies. Twenty studies were included in the qualitative analysis, of which 18 were included in the meta-analyses. The flap design did not influence pain, oedema, trismus, dehiscence, or osteitis. The triangular flap was associated with a greater occurrence of postoperative ecchymosis (odds ratio 4.58, 95% confidence interval 1.34 to 15.91, I2=0) and lower periodontal probing depth on day 7 postoperative (standardized mean difference -1.36, 95% confidence interval -2.68 to -0.03, I2=88%) when compared to the envelope flap in mandibular third molar surgeries.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the perceived impact of dental pain on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among children aged 1-3 years and their families. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 306 randomly selected preschool and day care children in the city of Diamantina, Brazil. Parents/caregivers answered a questionnaire on socio-demographic information, the Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale, their child's general/oral health and the Brazilian version of the Dental Discomfort Questionnaire. The children underwent an oral examination. Descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlations, the Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test and Poisson regression were used to determine associations between the variables (prevalence ratio [PR], α = 5%). RESULTS: The prevalence of dental caries and dental pain was 43.1% and 40.2%, respectively. Dental pain (PR: 1.96, 95% CI 1.52-2.54; p < 0.001), monthly household income (PR: 1.38, 95% CI 1.04-1.83; p = 0.026) and dental caries (PR: 1.06, 95% CI 1.03-1.10; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the perceived impact on OHRQoL. CONCLUSIONS: Dental pain, household income and dental caries were associated with a negative impact on the OHRQoL of children aged 1-3 years and their families.
