Articaine versus lidocaine inferior alveolar nerve block in posterior mandible implant surgeries: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of %4 articaine and %2 lidocaine on inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) for implant surgery in the posterior mandible.

Material And Methods: The patients who have inserted implants in the posterior mandible were divided into 2 groups for IANB: lidocaine and articaine. VAS = visual analog scale, pain during surgery and injection, lip numbness time, mandibular canal-implant apex distance, age, gender, bone density, implant number, release incision, adjacent teeth, and duration of surgery were analyzed using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman's coefficient, and, Pearson's chi-squared test.

Comparison of postoperative morbidity between piezoelectric surgery and conventional rotary instruments in mandibular third molar surgery: a split-mouth clinical study.

Background: The extraction of impacted third molar teeth is a common procedure in maxillofacial surgery. The aim of this study was to compare of piezoelectric surgical technique with the one with conventional rotary instruments in terms of edema, trismus and pain, in mandibular third molar surgery.

Material And Methods: 20 individuals with symmetrically impacted lower mandibular third molars and 40 teeth were included in the study.

Effect of Different Kinds of Music on Anxiety During Implant Surgery in Turkey: Randomized Controlled Study.

Purpose: Dental anxiety causes patients to avoid or delay dental treatments. This delay leads to more serious dental problems, which can then lead to more invasive and expensive treatment with possible emergency situations. The purpose of this study was to determine the most successful and effective kind of music to lessen the anxiety of patients during dental implant surgery.

Comparing Different Music Genres in Decreasing Dental Anxiety in Young Adults Who Underwent Third Molar Surgery in Turkey: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the music genre reducing anxiety best in patients whose third molars were extracted.

Materials And Methods: Eighty patients were included in this prospective, observational, randomized controlled trial. They were divided into 4 groups: group 1, Turkish music; group 2, classical music of a Western culture; group 3, soft rock music; and group 4, no music (control group).

Impact of Pre-Emptive Intravenous Ibuprofen on Perioperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Third Molar Extraction: A Randomised Controlled Study.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of pre-emptive intravenous (iv) ibuprofen on pain during and after the mandibular third molar surgery.

Methods: A total of 60 patients were included in the study. They were allocated as ibuprofen 800 mg iv+dexketoprofen 50 mg (group 1), ibuprofen 800 mg iv alone (group 2) or placebo (group 3).
