View clinical trials related to Impacted Wisdom Teeth.
Filter by:Surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth creates a high level of anxiety on patients. Anxiety in patients can affect the difficulty of tooth extraction, prolong the duration of surgery and increase post-operative pain. With the increasing internet usage in recent years; patients can access different information about surgical procedures by watching videos on various social media platforms in an uncontrolled manner. In the literature, the effects of impacted tooth extraction videos, which are watched by physicians before the operation, on anxiety have been examined. However, studies on the evaluation of the effect of the surgery videos watched by the patients before the surgery on their own will on anxiety and pain perception have been limited.
This study will compare how effective a single dose of an intravenous (IV) ibuprofen is when compared to single dose of IV acetaminophen in reducing pain. We will administer this study medication thirty minutes prior to removal of wisdom teeth. We want to see if administering these drugs prior to surgery may reduce post-operative pain. Administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug before the onset of inflammation during surgery will reduce postoperative pain following third molar extraction when compared to the acetaminophen group. Subjects receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug will consume less opioid medications compared to those receiving preemptive acetaminophen.
