About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effects of Mefenamic Acid and Dexketoprofen on Postoperative Pain, Edema and Trismus in Impacted Wisdom Dental Surgery

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.

Read the 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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Surgery of impacted mandibular wisdom teethProcedure or surgery

    Also called Surgery of impacted molar 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.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Mefenamic acid was used to see post operative effects after extraction of 3rd molar in study groupExperimentalIn this study of 30 patients, 22 females and 8 males, 60 fully impacted lower wisdom teeth were extracted bilaterally and in the same position. One of the bilaretal teeth of the patients was randomly selected and mefenamic acid was used as a drug to see post operative effects after extraction of impacted 3rd molars in the study group.

After the tooth in the experimental group was extracted, the other impacted wisdom tooth was selected as the control group and dexketoprofen was used as a drug to see post operative effects.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mouth opening measurements

    The distance between the incisals of the patient's central teeth at maximal mouth opening.

    Measured: 0-28 days

  2. Facial edema

    Measurement between facial craniometric points (angulus-tragus, angulus-lateral canthus, angulus-nasal base, angulus-lateral canthus, and angulus-pogonion). The number of participants in the split mouth model was 22. A total of 44 impacted teeth were extracted and edema was measured before and 1 week after each extraction.

    Measured: 0-28 days

  3. Visual Analog Scale

    A numerical rating scale VAS was used for pain analysis (0=no pain, 10=most severe pain). The pain levels at 24 hours, 48 hours and 1 week after the surgical procedure were recorded on the patient follow-up form by all patients who participated in the study by explaining that there was no pain at the "zero" level and the most severe pain known at the "10" level on the pain scale, which was organized as a 10 cm horizontal line on the prepared forms.

    Measured: 0-28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surgery of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth in people with Tooth, Impacted and Tooth Diseases, run by Yuzuncu Yil University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mouth opening measurements (time frame: 0-28 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2024.
