In an attempt to minimize or limit this swelling, many oral and maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists, advice patients to apply cold dressings to the affected side of the face during the first few hours after the operation. This regimen is advocated in many text books of oral and maxillofacial surgery and Periodontics. Cryotherapy has been used in Oral Medicine and Pathology for over 30 years. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol8octoberspledition/cryotherapy-following-intraoral-surgeries-and-for-treatment-of-oral-lesions-a-review/ Cryotherapy Oral lesions Intraoral surgeries
