Evaluation of the Effects of Pre-operative Deflazacort on Post-operative Pain, Edema and Trismus

Summary

Removal of impacted lower third molar teeth is one of the most common oral surgical procedures, and these operations often lead to various complications in patients. Antibiotics, analgesics and/or anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed for the treatment of complications encountered. Anti-inflammatory is the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation or swelling. Anti-inflammatory drugs make up about half of analgesics, remedying pain by reducing inflammation as opposed to opioids, which affect the central nervous system to block pain signaling to the brain. Based on this information, in this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effects of deflazacort preoperatively on the postoperative pain, swelling and trismus.
