Abstract |
Bilateral impacted mandibular third molars were surgically removed in 20 healthy patients. The effects of methylprednisolone on postoperative healing was investigated in a double-blind, cross-over study. Some decrease in postoperative discomfort (swelling and trismus) was noted in the methylprednisolone group. No statistically significant difference was noted, however in comparison with a placebo group.
