Evaluation of the Effects of Mefenamic Acid and Dexketoprofen on Postoperative Wisdom Dental Surgery

The aim of this study; to compare the effects of dexketoprofen and mefanamic acid on pain, edema and trismus after lower impacted wisdom teeth surgery. 60 impacted wisdom teeth in 30 healthy individuals who applied to Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with an indication for extraction of impacted lower wisdom teeth were included in the study. 60 impacted wisdom teeth belonging to individuals were randomly divided into two groups (A and B). In a randomized, controlled, double-blind study, dexketoprofen (A) and mefanamic acid (B) were given to patients immediately after surgery. VAS (Visual Analog Scale) was used for pain assessment and assessment was made at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days. For the evaluation of edema, the facial measurements of the patients before the operation were recorded and repeated on the 2nd and 7th postoperative days. Preoperative maximum mouth opening measurement for trismus assessment was repeated on the 2nd and 7th postoperative days and recorded.
