Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyAssessment of combined local anesthesia and ketamine for pain, swelling, and trismus after surgical extraction of third molars.
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of combined treatment with local anesthetic and subanesthetic ketamine for the relief or prevention of postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus after the surgical extraction of third molars. ⋯ The combination of a local anesthetic and subanesthetic doses of ketamine during surgical extraction of third molars can produce good local anesthesia while affording a comfortable procedure for the surgeon and patient and providing good postoperative analgesia with less swelling and significantly less trismus.

Remifentanil decreases mandibular bone marrow blood flow during propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia in rabbits.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of remifentanil on the blood flow in rabbit oral tissues during propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia. ⋯ Our findings suggest that infusion of remifentanil during propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia reduces BMBF and LMBF, as does deliberate hypotension by use of ATP, without a major decrease in MAP.
