Preemptive Oral Ketorolac with Local Tramadol Versus Oral Ketorolac in Third Molar Surgery: A Comparative Clinical Trial.

Aims: To assess preemptive analgesic efficacy of oral ketorolac with submucous placebo versus oral ketorolac with submucous tramadol during impacted mandibular third molar surgery.

Methodology: A double-blind, split-mouth clinical study was carried on 40 patients having bilateral impacted mandibular third molars. They were divided as group A comprising of 40 patients in whom oral ketorolac with submucous tramadol was administered and group B comprising of 40 patients in whom oral ketorolac with submucous placebo was administered.

Evaluation of Digital Palmar Dermatoglyphics in Oral Submucous Fibrosis and Leukoplakia: A Prospective Comparative Clinical Study.

Materials And Methods: Two hundred patients were segregated into four groups of 50 patients each with oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis, and patients with habits but no lesions were included. They were compared with 50 subjects without habits and without lesions.
