Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of dexamethasone in post-operative edema and trismus after impacted third molar surgery. Materials & Methods: It was a prospective randomized control study carried in Department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery, BADC, Larkana from March 2012 to Feb 2013. Patients age between 20-45 years of either gender; unilateral mandibular impacted third molars (right or left) were included. Patients divided in two groups by using random allocation number. Patients in Group-A were given intramuscular 8 mg dexamethasone 1 hour before surgery and four tablets (2mg) dexamethasone orally immediate postoperatively and 24 hours after surgery. The facial swelling was checked before surgery, after 24 hours (1st day), after 48 hours (2nd day), after 72 hours (3rd day) and on 7th postoperative day Inter-incisor distance was checked on every follow up. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 17. Mean and standard deviation was calculated for age and gender. Mean and SD of facial swelling and mouth opening was calculated before extraction, on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and on 7th post-operative day in both groups. Results: The dexamethasone group showed significant reduction in swellingcompared with control group at all intervals. Dexamethasone resulted in significantly less trismus than controls on day 2 postoperatively, but there was no significant difference among the groups at 7thday. Conclusions: Dexamethasone is effective in minimizing swelling and trismus after removal of impacted lower third molar and improves the social life of individual.

Maxillary Tuberosity

Maxillary third molar extractions (MTME) are one of the most common procedures done in maxillofacial surgery. Nevertheless, there are general complications that arise with every surgery. In our study, we have aimed to understand why suturing had been done following MTME and to observe a predilection in age and gender. By attempting to do so, we may establish when suturing is required and if age and gender have a role to play. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted after reviewing and analysing the data from 86,000 patient records between June 2019 and March 2020. Patients with an established record of MTME were selected from the age group of (20-60) years. The females of the study population had a larger frequency for having undergone MTME (52.7%) compared to the males (47.3%) and lastly transgenders (0.1%). The highest incidence of MTME was found in the age group of (31-40) years with 30.6% followed by (20-30) and (41-50) years with 26.9% each. (51-60) years had the least MTME done (15.6%). There was a higher incidence of extracted 28’s than 18’s (52.1% > 47.9%). Sutures were placed only in 1.6% of the total cases due to tuberosity fractures that had occurred as a complication of MTME. The placement of a suture following exodontia is not always mandatory, but when a complication such as a maxillary tuberosity fracture arises, suturing must be done. It is imperative to be equipped with the knowledge on how to manage possible complications, because even simple exodontias can prove to have fatal outcomes. Thus, further studies must be done to confirm our findings and to test other geographical locations and ethnicities.
