Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to compare the efficacy of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), namely lornoxicam and etodolac for controlling pain, edema and trismus after removal of lower impacted third molars.
Materials and methods: A total of 20 patients comprised of both genders with bilateral impacted lower impacted third molars (in similar positions) was included in the present study. Patients were randomly assigned either to the lornoxicam group (8 mg of lornoxicam) or to the etodolac group (400 mg of etodolac). The drugs prescribed were handed out immediately after tooth extraction. Postoperative pain was assessed using visual analog scale (VAS). Edema was evaluated using reference lines on the face. Trismus was assessed using a caliper at maximum mouth opening (mm).
Results: There was no significant difference in postoperative pain, trismus, and edema between lornoxicam and etodolac group (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Based on the results obtained in the present study, ıt has been verified that both lornoxicam and etodolac were adequately effective in the management of pain following third molar surgery. Lornoxicam and etodolac had similar impacts on pain, edema and trismus after impacted lower third molar surgical extractions.
期刊介绍：
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery founded as Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie is a peer-reviewed online journal. It is designed for clinicians as well as researchers.The quarterly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery and interdisciplinary aspects of cranial, facial and oral diseases and their management. The journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope on work in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as supporting specialties. Practice-oriented articles help improve the methods used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Every aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery is fully covered through a range of invited review articles, clinical and research articles, technical notes, abstracts, and case reports. Specific topics are: aesthetic facial surgery, clinical pathology, computer-assisted surgery, congenital and craniofacial deformities, dentoalveolar surgery, head and neck oncology, implant dentistry, oral medicine, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, TMJ and trauma.Time-limited reviewing and electronic processing allow to publish articles as fast as possible. Accepted articles are rapidly accessible online.Clinical studies submitted for publication have to include a declaration that they have been approved by an ethical committee according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 1964 (last amendment during the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000). Experimental animal studies have to be carried out according to the principles of laboratory animal care (NIH publication No 86-23, revised 1985).
