About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Dexketoprofen Prescribed According to the Circadian Rhythms

Lower third molar extraction is one of the most common treatments in oral surgery practice. It is a treatment with inherent complications such as postoperative pain, swelling or trismus. In order to minimize disconfort after extraction, analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication is prescribed. Recently, it is seen that circadian rhythm may play an important role on drugs metabolism, modulating its effect depending on the moment of administration.

The aim of the study is to analyze if dosage modification of a Non Steroideal Anti-Inflammatory (dexketoprofen) affects on postoperative pain, swelling and open mouth limitation according the circadian clock

Read the detailed description

A randomized crossover split-mouth clinical trial will be performed. After third molar extractions, patients will be prescribed randomly in one side intake morning medication dosage while the contralateral side will be prescribed a night dosage. Moreover, a blood sample will be obtained to analyze the inflammatory profile.
