The effect of association of aspirin and omega 3 in rat temporomandibular joint with induced arthritis.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of omega-3 (ω3) polyunsaturated fatty acids, in association with aspirin (AA), on the morphology of cytokine release in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of rats induced with rheumatoid arthritis (IR) by injecting 100 μL of complete Freund's adjuvant with bovine type II collagen at the tail base. Thirty-two adult male rats were divided into treatment groups: Sham, treated with 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) p.

Can local anesthesia with ropivacaine provide postoperative analgesia in extraction of impacted mandibular third molars? A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the local anesthesia efficacy of ropivacaine 0.75% compared to lidocaine 2% with 1:100,000 epinephrine for postoperative analgesia following extraction of impacted mandibular third molars.

Study Design: In this randomized, double-blind crossover clinical trial, 30 participants underwent surgical removal of bilateral impacted mandibular third molars under local anesthesia using ropivacaine 0.

Buffered 2% articaine versus non-buffered 4% articaine in maxillary infiltration: randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: This randomized, triple-blind, crossover clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy, onset, length of pulp and soft tissue anesthesia, and pain during injection of 2% buffered articaine and 4% non-buffered articaine solutions.

Methods: Each volunteer received two maxillary supraperiosteal anesthesia infiltrations in canine area. The infiltrations were performed at two different sessions using a different local anesthetic solution for each session, and the anesthetic injection speed was always 1 mL/min.

Herbal medicines as anxiolytics prior to third molar surgical extraction. A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of Passiflora incarnata, Erythrina mulungu, and midazolam in controlling anxiety in patients undergoing mandibular third molar extraction.

Methods: The volunteers underwent extraction of their third mandibular molars in a randomized, placebo-controlled, triple-blind, and parallel clinical trial. Passiflora incarnata (500 mg), Erythrina mulungu (500 mg), or midazolam (15 mg) was orally administered 60 min before the surgery.
