Efficacy of Chronoterapy in Oral Surgery

Summary

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 (ibuprofen) affects on postoperative pain, swelling and open mouth limitation comparing to the normal dosage.
