Evaluation of the Effect of Systemic Proteolytic Enzyme Therapy on Postoperative Inflammatory Response and QoL After Surgical Extraction of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars

Overview

1. To compare the postoperative pain between the patients who receive the systemic enzyme therapy and patients in the control group in the third and seventh day. 2. To compare the postoperative swelling (edema) between the patients who receive the systemic enzyme therapy and patients in the control group in the third and seventh day. 3. To compare the degree of trismus between the patients who receive the systemic enzyme therapy and patients in the control group in the third and seventh day. 4. Measure patients' perceptions of changes in their quality of life in the postoperative period and compare it between the patients who receive the systemic enzyme therapy and patients in the control group in the third and seventh day.

Evaluation of the effect of systemic proteolytic enzyme therapy on postoperative inflammatory response and quality of life after surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molar. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of systemic enzyme therapy(TibrolinTM) on the postoperative inflammatory response and the quality of life after surgical removal of impacted third molar. The study is designed and was implemented as a randomized controlled clinical study guided by Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines . Patients were randomly allocated to two groups (25patients per group). Group A included administration of SET after surgery and continued for 5 days post-surgery; Group B, a control group that would not receive the systemic enzyme therapy . The predictor variable was The use of systemic proteolytic enzyme (Tibrolin) or not .The primary outcome variables were pain and swelling , trismus,quality of life measured on 1st day (day of surgery), third day, and 7th after surgery.
