  • A study aimed to explore if topical arnica or mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MPSP) could reduce pain, swelling, and limited mouth opening after the removal of impacted mandibular third molars.
  • The research involved 60 patients divided into three groups: one receiving standard therapy only, one getting arnica alongside standard therapy, and the last receiving MPSP with standard therapy; pain and swelling were assessed at various postoperative intervals.
  • Results showed that both arnica and MPSP significantly reduced pain and swelling compared to the control group, especially during the first five days post-surgery, pointing to their potential benefits in postoperative recovery.
