Estudo comparativo do efeito da metilprednisolona e ibuprofeno na redução das complicações pós operatórias após exodontia de terceiros molares inferiores retidos

Abstract

The extraction of impacted third molars is a common procedure in the areas of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. This procedure usually results in post-operative complications, such as direct and immediate consequences of the surgery, including pain, trismus and swelling. It is therefore necessary to control these post-operative symptoms, providing suitable analgesic and anti-inflammatory therapy. The objective of this randomized double blind study is to compare the effects of methylprednisolone and ibuprofen, in the control of post-operative complications resulting from the extraction of retained third molars. To assess the clinical outcomes 19 adults (21 surgical extractions) without systemic pathology, referred to surgically remove an impacted mandibular third molar, were included in this study. The incidence of postoperative complications related to the drug therapy were tested by a group of 11 surgical extractions treated with the glucocorticoid drug methylprednisolone, and another group of 10 surgical procedures treated with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ibuprofen. Evaluation of post-operative parameters, like pain and trismus was recorded. Pain evaluation was carried out daily by a visual record in a form provided to the patient based on the Likert scale (1 to 7 points), during the 7 days following the surgery. Trismus was assessed by measuring maximum inter-incisive distance, recorded before surgery and at day 3 and 7 after surgery. Clinical manifestations were analyzed after administration of the two different drugs, comparing the two groups and their different variables by means of a statistical analysis. The results revealed no statistically significant differences between groups (p >0.05), in relation to pain relief or trismus reduction. Therefore, it is possible to say that methylprednisolone and ibuprofen have similar efficacy in controlling these post-operative parameters.

A exodontia de terceiros molares retidos é um procedimento cirúrgico comum nas áreas da Cirurgia Oral e Maxilo-facial. Este procedimento acarreta normalmente complicações pós-operatórias, como consequências diretas e imediatas da cirurgia, das quais a dor, o trismo e o edema são as mais características. Torna-se portanto necessário controlar os sintomas pós-operatórios, fornecendo uma terapia analgésica e anti-inflamatória adequada. O objetivo deste estudo randomizado e duplamente cego, é o de comparar os efeitos dos fármacos metilprednisolona e ibuprofeno, no controlo das complicações pós-operatórias resultantes da exodontia de terceiros molares inferiores retidos. A uma população de 19 indivíduos adultos (21 exodontias), sem patologias sistémicas, com indicação de exodontia de terceiro molar inferior retido, administrou-se de forma randomizada, o fármaco anti-inflamatório esteróide metilprednisolona (11 exodontias) e o fármaco anti-inflamatório não-esteróide (AINE) ibuprofeno (10 exodontias), sendo posteriormente avaliados parâmetros como a dor e o trismo pós-operatórios. A avaliação da dor foi efetuada através de um registo visual diário num formulário fornecido ao paciente, baseado na escala de Likert (de 1 a 7 pontos) durante os 7 dias seguintes à cirurgia. A avaliação do trismo, foi efetuada através de medição inter-incisiva de abertura máxima de boca, registada previamente à cirurgia e nos 3º e 7º dias após a realização da mesma. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que não existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos (p >0.05), no que concerne ao controlo quer da dor, quer do trismo, pelo que se pode afirmar que a metilprednisolona e o ibuprofeno apresentam uma eficácia semelhante no controlo pós-operatório destes parâmetros.
