Does bupivacaine irrigation of third molar sockets reduce postoperative pain? A double blind controlled trial

J R Tuffin et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1990 Apr.

Abstract

A double blind controlled randomised trial suggested that irrigation of third molar sockets with bupivacaine 0.75% produces significant reduction in pain scored on the first post-operative morning (p less than 0.01). However, this technique produces no significant reduction in opiate or oral analgesic consumption.
