Abstract：AIM: To investigate the effect on postoperative quality of life of extraction of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth using turbine drill and dental chisel. METHODS: The 600 examples of impacted mandibular third molar were divided into 2 group with each of 300 examples. In group A the turbine drill was used to extract the impacted mandibular third molar. In group B the dental chisel was used to extract the impacted mandibular third molar. We use the PoSSe Scale to measure the severity of symptoms after extraction of third molars, and compare the scores. RESULTS: The PoSSe scores in group A and B was 26.9865 ± 15. 3992 and 19.9381 ± 13. 1045. The PoSSe scores in group A was lower (P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Turbine drill and new instruments method is superior to dental chisel method in the extraction of impacted madibular wisdom teeth.
