Kinesio Taping for Managing Postoperative Sequelae of Mandibular Third Molar Impaction: A Prospective Clinical Study
KT effectively reduced early postoperative pain and swelling, and improved QoL following lower third molar surgery, although its impact on improvement in mouth opening was limited. These findings support KT as a valuable adjunct, warranting further large-scale blinded studies to optimize its application.
