Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Third Molar Surgery

Interventions

DRUG

Dexketoprofen Trometamol

Patients were instructed to record the number of drugs they used until the second and seventh postoperative days.

DRUG

Dexamethasone 21-Phosphate

Injections were administered in the immediate preoperative period as a single shot.

DEVICE

Therapeutic Elastic Bandage

The bands' lengths were individually measured and divided into five equal parts up to 2/3 of their lengths to obtain fan-type shape.
