Study Description

Brief Summary:

The main aim of the study is to investigate the pre-emptive effect of dexamethasone and diclofenac associated to codeine to prevent the pain, edema and limited mouth opening at the extraction of third molar.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Pain; Edema; Trismus	Drug: Dexamethasone; Drug: Diclofenac Sodium associated with Codeine	Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The surgery of third molar is usually associated with important post-surgical sequelae. The damage caused to tissue and bone may result in considerable pain, edema and trismus. The symptoms start gradually, peaking in 2 days after the extraction. The use of medications such as dexamethasone and diclofenac associated to codeine may support the prevention of post-surgical pain. This clinical trial aim compare the the pre-emptive effect of dexamethasone and diclofenac associated to codeine to prevent the pain, edema and limited mouth opening at the extraction of third molar.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Post-surgical swelling of third molar extraction determined using linear measures in the face [ Time Frame: Up to seven days post-surgical ]
   During the post-surgical intervals of 24, 48 and 72 hours and seven days, the swelling was determined using linear measures in the face.
2. Post-surgical trismus of third molar extraction determined by maximum mouth opening [ Time Frame: Up to seven days post-surgical ]
   During the post-surgical intervals of 24, 48 and 72 hours and seven days, the trismus was determined by maximum mouth opening.
3. Post-surgical pain of third molar extraction using visual analogic scale [ Time Frame: Up to seven days post-surgical ]
   The post-surgical pain was self-recorded by the patient using visual analogic scale in intervals of 24, 48 and 72 hours and seven days.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Analgesic consumption [ Time Frame: Up to seven days post-surgical ]
2. Duration of surgery [ Time Frame: Up to seven days post-surgical ]
