Purpose: Operations in the oral cavity are often characterized by an acute period of postoperative pain historically mitigated via opioids and other analgesics. The purpose of the study was to determine if liposomal bupivacaine infiltration (LBI) following uncomplicated extraction of bilateral, mandibular third molars will significantly reduce postoperative pain when compared to standard bupivacaine.
Materials And Methods: The study was designed as a parallel-arm randomized clinical trial.
