Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study proposes to compare the effect of a single preoperative dose of prednisone versus placebo in terms of facial swelling, trismus and pain after surgical removal of the mandibular third molar (M3M) in a split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aims to compare the effect of a single preoperative dose of prednisone versus placebo in terms of facial swelling, trismus, and pain after surgical removal of M3M in a split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial. Facial swelling will be evaluated using an innovative three-dimensional digital technique.
