Objective To investigate the efficacy of ice-hot compress gel mask after extraction of impacted teeth. Methods A total of 60 patients with impacted teeth after extraction of impacted teeth who were treated in our hospitals Oral Surgery Department from January to June 2021 were selected as the research objects, and divided into the experimental group and the control group with 30 cases in each group according to the random number table method. Both groups of patients were operated by the same group of nurses, and the same nurses were given health guidance. The control group was given conventional ice packs and hot towels for cold and hot compresses. The effect of hot compress application compliance, postoperative pain degree and swelling degree of operation area were observed. Results The VAS score of the experimental group at 48 hours after operation was 2.68±0.25, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). There were 4 cases of moderate swelling, 1 case of grade III severe swelling, and one case of grade I mild swelling, and the good rate was better than that of the control group (P<0.01). There were 24 cases, and the experimental group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.01); Conclusion After the impacted tooth extraction, the use of ice-hot compress gel mask can significantly improve the patients compliance with cold and hot compresses, and significantly reduce the degree of swelling in the operation area. and postoperative pain, it is worthy of promotion and application.
