Comparison of the efficacy of low doses of methylprednisolone, acetaminophen, and dexketoprofen trometamol on the swelling developed after the removal of impacted third molar.

Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of low doses of methylprednisolone, acetaminophen and dexketoprofen trometamol, which are among the drug groups used in our clinic, on postoperative swelling developing after removal of impacted third molar.

Material And Methods: The three group of patients received either 40 mg methylprednisolone or 300 mg acetaminophen or 12.5 mg dexketoprofen trometamol one hour before the procedure, according to the patient groups.

Effect of low-dose dexketoprofen trometamol and paracetamol on postoperative complications after impacted third molar surgery on healthy volunteers: A pilot study.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of dexketoprofen trometamol (DT) and paracetamol on deep acute somatic pain and inflammation in patients undergoing impacted third molar surgery. This study was planned to present benefits that we could obtain with low burden of drug.

Study Design: Effects of drugs, which were administered preemptively before the procedure, on pain, mouth-opening limitation, and swelling were assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and mouth-opening measurement.

[Evaluation of efficacy of radiofrequency thermal ablation technique by computed tomography and visual analog scale in treatment of isolated inferior turbinate hypertrophy].

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFTA) technique by computed tomography (CT) and visual analog scale (VAS) in patients with isolated inferior turbinate hypertrophy.

Patients And Methods: Between May 2009 and December 2009, 30 patients (10 females, 20 males; mean age 31.0±12.
