[Double-blind study on the anti-inflammatory effect of indomethacin after surgical removal of lower wisdom teeth]
Abstract
The use of indomethacin (Amuno, Indocid) to prevent postoperative complications following oral surgery was checked in double blind tests. Impacted and half-impacted lower third molars from 100 patients were surgically removed; 50 were given indomethacin orally and 50 were given a placebo. Postoperative body temperature and pain were recorded on the first and second days after surgery. Trismus and cheek swelling were also measured.
