Comparing Methylprednisolone And Hyaluronic Acid To Reduce Wisdom Tooth Surgery Complications

Официальное название

Efficacy of Methylprednisolone and Hyaluronic Acid, Individually and in Combination, on Reducing Postoperative Complications After Mandibular Third Molar Extraction

Обзор

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess and compare the effectiveness of methylprednisolone and hyaluronic acid (HA), alone and in combination, in managing post-operative complications following the surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars (wisdom teeth). It will also learn about the safety and side effects of these treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How effectively does methylprednisolone reduce post-operative pain, swelling (edema), and limited mouth opening (trismus)? * How effectively does hyaluronic acid reduce post-operative pain, swelling (edema), and limited mouth opening (trismus)? * Is the combination of methylprednisolone and hyaluronic acid more effective than either treatment alone in controlling these post-operative complications? * What complications (e.g., soft tissue issues, infection) do participants experience with each treatment group? Researchers will compare the effects of methylprednisolone (given intravenously before surgery), hyaluronic acid (placed in the tooth socket after extraction), and a combination of both, against a control group that receives standard care (saline irrigation) to see which treatment or combination is most effective. Participants will be medically healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 40 who are undergoing the surgical extraction of a fully impacted mandibular third molar. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: * Group I (Control): Receive standard care (saline irrigation of the wound). * Group II (Methylprednisolone): Receive a single 125 mg dose of methylprednisolone intravenously one hour before surgery. * Group III (Hyaluronic Acid): Receive 2 ml of hyaluronic acid placed directly into the tooth socket after extraction. * Group IV (Combination): Receive both the pre-operative methylprednisolone injection and the post-extraction hyaluronic acid in the socket. All participants will receive standard post-operative care, including antibiotics and pain medication, and will be followed up periodically to monitor for complications such as soft tissue issues or infection.

Подробное описание

The surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars is a common procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery, frequently associated with considerable postoperative complications such as pain, facial edema, and limited mandibular movement (trismus). Minimizing these adverse effects is crucial for the success of surgical procedures and patient comfort.While various methods are used to reduce these sequelae, adverse effects still pose a major challenge. Corticosteroids, such as methylprednisolone sodium succinate, offer potent anti-inflammatory actions that inhibit vasodilatation and decrease cellular exudates, which helps in reducing postoperative edema and pain. Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a biocompatible glycosaminoglycan, plays a critical role in soft tissue structure, demonstrating anti-inflammatory impacts during oral wound healing and supporting tissue integrity.This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial is designed to evaluate and compare the individual and synergistic effectiveness of intravenous methylprednisolone sodium succinate and local application of hyaluronic acid in controlling post-extraction complications. The study will strictly monitor and objectively evaluate clinical outcomes including facial swelling, pain intensity, mouth opening, wound healing, and total analgesic consumption over a 7-day postoperative follow-up period.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Methyl Prednisolone (MP)
  Methylprednisolone sodium succinate is a synthetic glucocorticoid (corticosteroid) administered intravenously at a single dose of 125 mg one hour prior to the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar. The purpose of this intervention is to reduce the inflammatory response, thereby controlling post-operative complications such as pain, swelling (edema), and limited mouth opening (trismus).
• Биопрепарат Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
  Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan that is placed directly into the tooth socket after the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar. A volume of 2 ml of HA is applied before the surgical site is closed. This intervention is intended to promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and aid in the control of post-operative pain and swelling.
