Summary
Oral surgeries include various types such as impacted wisdom tooth surgery, oral cyst
enucleation (cystectomy), surgical incision and drainage of odontogenic abcess, oral tumor
excision and open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fracture (ORIF). Oral
surgeries are usually associated with pain, swelling and inability to open the mouth. Those
symptoms reach the maximum intensity between the third to fifth days postoperatively for the
swelling and 24 to 48 hours postoperatively for the pain and then, they gradually diminished
until the 7th day postoperatively
