Summary

The main aim of the study is to investigate the pre-emptive effect of dexamethasone and diclofenac associated to codeine to prevent the pain, edema and limited mouth opening at the extraction of third molar.

Detailed description

The surgery of third molar is usually associated with important post-surgical sequelae. The damage caused to tissue and bone may result in considerable pain, edema and trismus. The symptoms start gradually, peaking in 2 days after the extraction. The use of medications such as dexamethasone and diclofenac associated to codeine may support the prevention of post-surgical pain. This clinical trial aim compare the the pre-emptive effect of dexamethasone and diclofenac associated to codeine to prevent the pain, edema and limited mouth opening at the extraction of third molar.
