Comparison of Submucosal Injection of Dexamethasone and Triamcinolone Acetonide for Control of Posto

The researchers wanted to see how effective submucosal injections of dexamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide were at reducing postoperative pain and swelling after impacted mandibular third molar surgery. This research involved 150 patients who had an asymptomatic, unilateral, affected mandibular third molar with no systemic disease. Patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: one received dexamethasone, the other received triamcinolone acetonide, and the third received placebo. Submucosally, dexamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide were injected between 0.5 cm to 1 cm above the surgical area. A visual analogue scale was used to measure pain (VAS). On different days of the postoperative period, there were statistically significant differences between the three classes. The effect of triamcinolone acetonide is postoperative, and its effect on trismus and pain was superior to that of the other classes. In terms of postoperative complications, there was no substantial difference between the effects of dexamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide. Following impacted mandibular third molar surgery, a submucosal injection of dexamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide could be an appropriate treatment, and triamcinolone acetonide may be used instead of dexamethasone to alleviate pain after surgery.
