Extraction of the Lower Third Molars Clinical Trial
Official title:
Influence of Ozone Therapy on Postoperative Pain Relief in the Surgical Treatment of Lower Third Molars: Randomized Controlled Trial
Patients will undergo a split-mouth protocol which includes: a control group: in which the extraction of the lower third molar will be performed according to the standard protocols of the structure. A study group: in which ozone will be used in addition, in two formulations: gaseous, injected into the site of the pre- and post-surgery operation, and topical, in the form of a gel, applied at the end of the operation and for home use according to therapeutic scheme prescribed at the time of discharge. Primary objective: To evaluate whether the use of ozone in patients undergoing extraction of impacted third molars reduces post-operative pain 7 days after surgery. Secondary objectives: - Evaluate the functional limitation in opening the mouth (trismus) 7 days after surgery. - Evaluate if there is a reduced intake of analgesic drugs in the 7 days following the operation. - Evaluate the perceived quality of life in the 7 days following the intervention.
