After impacted wisdom tooth extraction, patients frequently complain of pain, edema, and limited mouth opening. After the procedure, patients are routinely recommended to use chlorhexidine and physiological serum-based mouthwashes. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of warm chamomile tea have been reported in the literature. In addition, the neuroprotective, antiallergic, antioxidant, antiseptic and spasmolytic properties of chamomile have been reported. The aim was to compare the effects of these gargles in terms of pain, mouth opening, burning sensation in the mouth, edema, and discoloration of the tongue and teeth.
