YU Yueyuan,SUN Renyi. Application of compound sodium aescinate gel in extraction of impacted mandibular third molars[J]. JOURNAL OF WEZHOU MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, 2016, 46(12): 905-908.
Abstract：Objective: To evaluate the effects of compound sodium aescinate gel on postoperative complications after impacted mandibular third molar extraction. Methods: Thirty-five healthy patients with bilaterally symmetric, horizontally impacted mandibular third molars were included in this randomized split-mouth study. After extraction, the patients were treated with compound sodium aescinate gel on one side (test group) and without it on the other side (control group). Postoperative pain, edema, and maximal mouth opening measurements were compared, and a paired t test was done with SPSS17.0. Results: Postoperative pain, edema and maximal mouth opening measurements presented statistical differences between the two groups (P<0.05) at 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery. The test group presented with milder postoperative complications than the control group. Conclusion: The postoperative application of compound sodium aescinate gel can reduce the severity of postoperative complications after the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars.
