Effectiveness of Lidocaine with Epinephrine Irrigation in Reducing Acute Pain from Surgical Removal of Mesioangular-Impacted Third Molars.

Background: Anesthetic irrigation is an effective treatment for postoperative pain suppression in patients after molar extraction, but exerts a short period of extraction. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of lidocaine with epinephrine irrigation on acute pain relief in healthy volunteers with inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) injection for the surgical removal of mesioangular (MA)-impacted third molars.

Methods: A total of 28 patients (56 samples) with bilateral MA-impacted third molars were recruited.

Pain intensity and salivary α-amylase activity in patients following mandibular third molar surgery.

Objective: We aimed to compare the levels of pain and salivary α-amylase (SAA) in patients before and after mandibular third molar surgery.

Materials And Methods: Patients were divided into asymptomatic and symptomatic groups and were then identified by the analgesic drug taken throughout the 2-week study. The visual analog scale (VAS) was employed to evaluate the severity of pain experienced by a given subject before treatment, when the anesthetic wore off, in the morning, and at night for a period of 1 week.
