About this study

Official title: Bupivacaine For Postoperative Pain Control

Control of postoperative pain is a foremost goal in achieving a satisfactory postoperative recovery. Surgical removal of lower third molars is accompanied by postoperative pain that is at its peak in the first 12 hours. Our study evaluates if the use of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride for the surgical removal of lower third molars with a postoperative 0.5% bupivacaine supplementation would result in lesser postoperative pain and a decrease in ingestion of oral analgesics to control the pain when compared to a placebo.

Read the detailed description

The study intends to enroll 100 patients [ASA 1] with bilateral symmetrical impacted mandibular third molars requiring surgical removal under local anesthesia. 2% Lidocaine hydrochloride with epinephrine bitartrate 1: 80000 in 3ml quantity will be utilized to achieve local anesthesia at the surgical site on both quadrants. Additional supplementation postoperative at the surgical site will be provided with either 1.5 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:80000 epinephrine solution or saline based on a split mouth randomized study design using a color and number coded envelop. All procedures will be performed by a single surgeon using a similar technique, under identical conditions at one month apart intervals. Pain scores will be assessed by the patient based on a 10cm Visual Analog Scale at intervals of 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours. The duration of soft tissue anesthesia postoperatively will be recorded by the patient. The number of analgesics ingested over 120 hours will be recorded by the patient. Results will be evaluated statistically by the Wilcoxon test and two tailed test to determine the ratio. Statistical significance will be considered at p < 0.05.

Being tested
Bupivacaine, SALINE

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. POSTOPERATIVE ANALGESIA EXPERIENCED BY THE PATIENTS

    THE PATIENT TO RECORD THE DURATION OF ANALGESIA AFTER SURGICAL REMOVAL OF MANDIBULAR THIRD MOLARS.

    Measured: 5 DAYS

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. NUMBER OF ORAL ANALGESICS INGESTED AFTER THE SURGICAL REMOVAL OF MANDIBULAR THIRD MOLAR TEETH.

    PATIENT WILL RECORD THE NUMBER OF ANALGESICS INGESTED IN A 5 DAY PERIOD AFTER SURGICAL REMOVAL OF MANDIBULAR THIRD MOLARS.

    Measured: 5 DAYS

  2. ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM INGESTION OF ORAL ANALGESICS

    PATIENT WILL REGISTER ANY COMPLAINTS ARISING OUT OF ORAL ANALGESIC INTAKE

    Measured: 5 DAYS

  3. DURATION OF TISSUE ANESTHESIA POSTOPERATIVELY

    PATIENTS WILL RECORD THE DURATION OF TISSUE ANESTHESIA AFTER THE SURGERY

    Measured: 1.5 TO 10 HOURS
