The postoperative symptoms after third molar removal surgery were commonly uneventful. The aim of this study was to compare two proteolytic enzymes from different origin and to prove which enzyme provides a faster healing. One of the proteolytic enzymes involves a combination with a flavonoid. This involves trypsin, bromelain, along with a flavonoid rutin. Another proteolytic enzyme is serratiopeptidase that helps in degradation of insoluble proteins causing reduced swelling in the operated site.
