Summary

Control of postoperative pain is a foremost goal in achieving a satisfactory postoperative recovery. Surgical removal of lower third molars is accompanied by postoperative pain that is at its peak in the first 12 hours. Our study evaluates if the use of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride for the surgical removal of lower third molars with a postoperative 0.5% bupivacaine supplementation would result in lesser postoperative pain and a decrease in ingestion of oral analgesics to control the pain when compared to a placebo.
