Use of ibuprofen and methylprednisolone for the prevention of pain and swelling after removal of impacted third molars

Effects of co-administered dexamethasone and diclofenac potassium on pain, swelling and trismus following third molar surgery

“…Independent T-test did not show any significant difference in reduction of mouth opening (trismus) between the study groups ( P > 0.05). While this observation does not corroborate with those of previous reports [ 21 , 22 , 25 ], the enhanced effect of steroids on mouth-opening may be observed clinically. In the present study, the mean reduction in mouth-opening between the post-operative days 1 and 2 were 0.31 mm and 3.19 mm, for groups I (dexamethasone and diclofenac K) and II (diclofenac K only), respectively.…”

A comparative evaluation of the effect of diclofenac sodium with and without per-orally administered methylprednisolone on the sequelae of impacted mandibular third molar removal: A cohort randomized double-blind clinical trial

“…(1995) and others, who found the NSAID–steroid combination to be better than NSAID alone in the treatment of post-operative pain, trismus and swelling after dental surgical procedures. [ 5 36 39 40 ] Our results corroborate this theory.…”

Effects of ozone therapy on postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus caused by surgical extraction of unerupted lower third molars: a double-blinded split-mouth randomized controlled trial

“…( 7 ), it was possible to reinforce the overall beneficial effect of OzT practice on postoperative pain control. Considering that no dropout, complications, or adverse effects were found relating to the OzT during this study, the authors reinforce the positive reports in the literature regarding safety in its use ( 3 , 5 , 20 ).…”

“…The control side was stimulated with sham-OzT (atmospheric air with ozone smell + ozone-free sunflower oil dressing), and, on the test side, the use of the true OzT after a 14-day wash-out period. Similar methodology was reported in previous studies ( 2 - 5 , 7 , 20 , 26 , 27 ), despite some differences in the vehicle used to carry ozone and none reporting on a combination of approaches to deliver OzT topically, as demonstrated in the present study.…”
