Surgery on the lower impacted third molar usually involves trauma in the highly vascularized loose connective tissue area, leading to inflammatory sequelae including postoperative pain, swelling, and general oral dysfunction during the immediate post-operative phase.
Submucosal Dexamethasone injection effectively reduces postoperative sequelae of third-molar extractions suggests a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association.
Within the limitations of this study, the administration of DXM is effective in reducing the postoperative sequelae, especially in the submucosal route. However, no noteworthy differences were found between the investigated DXM route and dose comparisons.
