Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of submucosal 8 mg (2 mL) dexamethasone on postoperative pain, swelling, chewing efficiency, trismus, healing, and discomfort after periodontal flap surgery


Clinical Trial Description

Periodontitis is an oral inflamatuar disease caused by specific microorganisms, is characterized by attachment loss, alveolar bone resorption, pathological pocket formation. This disease causes deep periodontal pockets associated with deep intrabony defects as well as various clinical problems. For management overcome these problems, various approaches have been proposed in the treatment of periodontitis, including initial periodontal treatment such as scaling and root planing, followed by flap surgery, resective bone surgery and periodontal regeneration when applicable. However, periodontal flap surgery applied in these approaches causes undesirable side effects such as pain and swelling. To overcome these disorders, studies continue to investigate by using various medication regimens include pre, intra or post operative drugs. Dexamethasone is a synthetic steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to control pain, swelling, and inflammation occurring in third molar surgeries, periodontal therapy and periodontal surgeries, implant surgery, and endodontic treatment. In the literature, dexamethasone application is frequently used in oral surgery before or after third molar tooth extraction. There is limited research on dexamethasone applications in periodontal flap surgery. lt has been evaluated the effectiveness of oral use of etoricoxib and dexamethasone in preventing pain after open flap debridement surgery. Some authors used 4 mg dexamethasone tablets before mucoperiosteal flap surgery and reported that the pain level in the dexamethasone group was lower than placebo at the 3rd hour. It has been reported positive results where preferred its use intravenously in the postoperative management of periodontal surgery. However, to the investigators knowledge, there is no study in the literature in which dexamethasone is applied submucosally after periodontal flap surgery. Accordingly, the hypothesis of this study was that submucosal application of dexamethasone in periodontal flap surgery would have a positive effect on pain and patient comfort. In light of all these scientific data, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of submucosal dexamethasone application periodontal flap surgery on postoperative pain, swelling, chewing efficiency, trismus, healing and discomfort. ;
