“…The incidence of PONV found by Sato et al [22] was 15.7 % under local anaesthesia whereas it was 20 % by Tiwana et al [28] under general anaesthesia in their control group after TMS. Many of the studies successfully demonstrated reduction of incidence of PONV by administering dexamethasone [28][29][30][31]. Data from the present study is supported by the study by Tiwana et al; it significantly decreased PONV after TMS under local anaesthesia by administrating single-dose of submucosal (8 mg) dexamethasone preoperatively than control group [28].…”

Introduction Third molar surgery (TMS) became a routine, safe office procedure with generally predictable outcomes and relative low cost. It affects quality of life (QOL) of patients by causing considerable pain, swelling and trismus; by changing what people eat, their speech in the first few days after surgery. The purpose of the present study was to improve QOL of patient after lower TMS by injecting single dose 8 mg submucosal dexamethasone. Materials and Methods Forty healthy adult subjects of either gender underwent surgical removal of the lower impacted third molar under local anaesthesia and after being randomly assigned to receive either 8 mg dexamethasone submucosal injection or normal saline injection in proximity to surgical site. Statistical Analysis Used Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test (Z), t student and unpaired t test, and Fisher extract test were used for calculation of data. Results Facial swelling, trismus showed significant reduction immediate postoperative day in dexamethasone groups. Patient perception postoperative pain on VAS score was not significant. PoSSe statistics, only three out of seven subscales showed a statistically significant difference between groups viz., Eating subscale, Appearance subscale, Sickness subscale but over all improvement in QOL was observed. Conclusions Submucosal dexamethasone effectively reduces postoperative sequelae and improves postoperative QOL after TMS.

Aim:The study was designed to explore the changes in oral health-related quality of life (QoL) in the immediate postoperative period following routine (non-surgical) dental extraction.Setting and Design:A prospective study carried out at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery clinic of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria.Materials and Methods:Subjects attending who required non-surgical removal of one or two teeth under local anesthesia were included in the study. A baseline QoL questionnaire (oral health impact profile-14 [OHIP-14]) was filled by each patient just before surgery, and only those who were considered to have their QoL “not affected” (total score 14 or less) were included in the study. After the extraction, each subject was given a modified form of “health related QoL” [OHIP-14]-instrument to be completed by the 3rd day-after surgery, and were given the opportunity to review the questionnaire on the 7th day postoperative review.Results:Total OHIP-14 scores ranged between 14 and 48 (mean ± SD, 26.2 ± 8.3). Majority of the subjects (60%) reported, “a little affected.” Only few subjects (5.8%) reported, “not at all affected,” and about 32% reported, “quite a lot.” Summation of OHIP-14 scores revealed that QoL was “affected” in 41 subjects (34.2%) and “not affected” in 79 subjects (65.8%). More than 30% of subjects reported that their ability to chew, ability to open the mouth and enjoyment of food were affected following tooth extraction. Few subjects (14-34%) reported deterioration in their speech and less than 20% of subjects reported that change in their appearance was “affected.” Only few subjects (12.5-15.1%) reported sleep and duty impairment. Thirty-percent of subjects reported their inability to keep social activities, and 41% were not able to continue with their favorite sports and hobbies. Multiple regression analysis revealed no significant association between age, sex, indications for extraction, duration of extraction, intra-operative complications, and deterioration in QoL (P < 0.05). Consumption of analgesics beyond postoperative day 1 (POD1) was more common in subjects with socket healing complications than those without (P = 0.000). About 33% of subjects reported, “inability to work” (1-3 days).Conclusion:About a third of subjects experienced significant deterioration in QoL. The most affected domains were eating/diet variation and speech variation. Therefore, patients should be informed of possible deterioration in their QoL following non-surgical tooth extraction.
