Effectiveness of Lactuca Sativa in Postoperative Pain Control Following Surgical Removal of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars (Wisdom Tooth): Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial.

Evaluation of effectiveness of Lactuca sativa in postoperative pain control following surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.

Clinical trial with control group, parallel groups, double blind, randomized

Effectiveness of Lactuca Sativa after mandibular third molar surgery was evaluated in terms of patient's pain. The split mouth was divided into Lactuca Sativa or placebo syrup. In this double blinded study, patients and researchers were unaware of the outcome of treatment with Lactuca Sativa or placebo. The study was conducted at the faculty of dentistry of Arak University of Medical Sciences. The pain intensity of the patients was evaluated on the first to fourth day after surgery with the VAS scale.

All patients with symmetrical mandibular third molars with full bone or relative bone, in the same classification (in terms of spatial orientation and position of tooth, depth of impaction and relationship with Ramus in radiography) and with same degree of surgical difficulty, painless up to day surgery, without systemic disease, and history of allergy or bleeding problems.

Intervention group :Use of Lactuca Sativa after mandibular third molar surgery that will be used 3 days before surgery, 3 times a day, and each time a bowl of spoon will be consumed half an hour after the meal, and the same way, until 4 days after surgery It will continue. Control group: Use of placebo syrup after mandibular third molar surgery that will be used 3 days before surgery, 3 times a day, and each time a bowl of spoon will be consumed half an hour after the meal, and the same way, until 4 days after surgery It will continue.

Postoperative pain

To determine the surgical side of surgery, the number 1 for lettuce syrup and the number 2 for placebo will be considered. There are 70 envelopes of similar appearance that will be in 35 envelopes number 1 and 35 envelopes number 2, envelopes numbered from 1 to 70, and a random number table will be counted for the first surgery that the patient will be blindfolded. He puts on a number, we give the envelope to the patient while the patient does not know the number is 1 or 2 in the envelope.

The study is designed double blinded, so that the participants (patients) initially did not know if the Lactuca Sativa was given or the placebo was unaware, as well as the experts reviewing the results of the two interventions for the type of intervention They are unaware of the patient. In order to achieve the goals of blindness in this study, it needs to be explained that the surgeon specializing in evaluating the results from the use of Lactuca Sativa and placebo syrup is different, and the expert assessing the results is completely unaware of the Lactuca Sativa or placebo syrup and it is someone. Which is selected from the outside of the therapeutic system.

After the publication of this article in a journal if the privacy of patients is not invaded information will be given to the respected center.
