Comparative Analysis of Envelope and Triangular Flap Designs in Reducing Postoperative Sequelae Following Mandibular Third Molar Disimpaction
The envelope flap outperformed the triangular flap in reducing postoperative swelling and enhancing early mouth opening recovery, making it preferable for routine mandibular third molar extractions. Both techniques ensured comparable pain control and periodontal healing, supporting their use based on case-specific requirements.
