Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of the recovery characteristics of propofol total intravenous anaesthesia and isoflurane inhalation anaesthesia for dental day surgery.
Both TIVA using propofol and conventional thiopentone/isoflurane/nitrous oxide technique provided satisfactory anaesthesia for dental day surgery. However, TIVA using propofol is our preferred technique due to its faster and better quality of recovery.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialLocal antifibrinolytic treatment with tranexamic acid in hemophilic children undergoing dental extractions.
The incidence of post-extraction bleeding and the amount of replacement therapy needed to control bleeding in 24 hemophilic children following the local use of tranexamic acid mouthwash have been investigated. The results of the study showed that 91.6% of patients who used tranexamic acid mouthwash as a supplement to systemic therapy, did not develop post-extraction bleeding; while in 25% of the control patients who received only systemic tranexamic acid, postoperative bleeding was not observed.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialDiclofenac potassium in the management of dental pain: a multicenter double-blind comparison with glafenine.
The analgesic efficacy and tolerability of diclofenac-potassium 50 mg were compared with those of glafenine 200 mg in 109 outpatients suffering from moderate to severe dental pain. Throughout the four-day trial period, patients (Diclofenac-potassium: n = 58, mean age = 32.84 +/- 12.0 yrs. Glafenine n = 51, mean age = 34.12 +/- 14.0 yrs.) were randomised, in a double-blind fashion, to receive one tablet of either medications three times daily, together with an antibiotic, ampicillin, 500 mg, 8 hourly. ⋯ Only one patient (1.72%) in the diclofenac-potassium treatment group experienced slight diarrhoea. It can be concluded from this study that both medications are effective and well tolerated in the management of dental pain. However, diclofenac-potassium with its fast onset of effect is particularly suitable in the management of acute painful conditions.
