In this study; Among the patients randomized because of severe postoperative sequelae expected as a result of radiological and clinical examinations; nonsteroid antiinflammatory drug prescribed group compared with preoperative single dose intraoral submucosal corticosteroid administration and therapeutic elastic bandage application considering inflammatory symptoms' severity and health related quality of life following surgical removal of impacted third molars. The study hypothesis was formed stating that corticosteroid injection and elastic bandage application would reduce the inflammatory symptoms more than NSAID.
