Background: Transdermal buprenorphine is used for the management of postoperative pain. Its effectiveness for the postoperative pain management following mandibular resection and reconstruction has yet to be evaluated.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of transdermal buprenorphine patch (TBP) in managing postoperative pain after mandibular resection and reconstruction with anterior iliac crest graft.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of transdermal Fentanyl patch with oral Ketorolac for pain management in dry socket patients.
Study Design: Sixty patients who were diagnosed with dry socket (VAS > 40 mm) were recruited in this prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients were divided into two groups.
