Record History

  1. Study First Submitted
This study evaluated whether giving a single dose of long-acting corticosteroids before wisdom tooth surgery reduces pain, facial swelling, and limited jaw opening (trismus) after surgery. Adult patients aged 18-35 undergoing impacted lower wisdom tooth removal were randomly assigned to receive either 8 mg dexamethasone or a placebo before surgery. Pain, swelling, and jaw mobility were measured at several time points after surgery. The study aimed to determine if preoperative corticosteroids improve recovery and reduce discomfort following surgery.
