Summary

This study was administered to 22 female and 8 male patients. Patients with impacted wisdom teeth on both sides of the mandible were selected. After impacted tooth extraction, the patient used mefenamic acid on one side and dexketoprofen on the other side for postoperative pain relief. The effects of these two materials on patient comfort were investigated.

Detailed description

The aim of this study; to compare the effects of dexketoprofen and mefanamic acid on pain, edema and trismus after lower impacted wisdom teeth surgery. 60 impacted wisdom teeth in 30 healthy individuals who applied to Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with an indication for extraction of impacted lower wisdom teeth were included in the study. 60 impacted wisdom teeth belonging to individuals were randomly divided into two groups (A and B). In a randomized, controlled, double-blind study, dexketoprofen (A) and mefanamic acid (B) were given to patients immediately after surgery. VAS (Visual Analog Scale) was used for pain assessment and assessment was made at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days. For the evaluation of edema, the facial measurements of the patients before the operation were recorded and repeated on the 2nd and 7th postoperative days. Preoperative maximum mouth opening measurement for trismus assessment was repeated on the 2nd and 7th postoperative days and recorded.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Surgery of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth	All surgical procedures were performed by the same surgeon using the standard surgical technique described below. The anesthetic used was 4% articaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline. In all patients, a sulcus incision was made in the lower second molar and an envelope incision in the third molar region, the mucoperiosteal flap was removed, and extraction was performed with a bone elevator and a third molar elevator. If necessary, the impacted molar was incised with a high-speed dental handpiece and a fissure bur. The wound was irrigated with copious amounts of saline, and the wound edges were carefully sutured with simple 4.0 silk braided non-absorbable sutures. After extraction of impacted wisdom tooth, the patient was given mefenamic acid as a medication.
