Brief summary

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single-dose intravenous dexketoprofen administration for preventive analgesia on postoperative pain and reducing swelling in double jaw surgery. Material and Methods The authors designed a prospective, randomized, and double-blind cohort study. Patients who have Class III malocclusion were randomly divided in two groups. 50 mg intravenous dexketoprofen trometamol were administrated 30 minutes before incision in treatment group, while intravenous sterile saline was administrated 30 minutes before incision in placebo group. The primary predictor variable was treatment group. Primary outcomes were pain, swelling and 24-hour opioid intake. Patient- controlled analgesia with tramadol was given for management of postoperative pain. Other variables were demographic and operation related parameters. Visual analogue scale was used to evaluate postoperative pain. 3dMD Face System (3dMD, USA) was used to measure postoperative swelling. Data were analysed using two independent samples t test and Mann Whitney U test.

Interventions

DRUGiv dexketoprofen trometamol (Arveles 50mg/2mL; UFSA, İstanbul, Turkey)

The primary predictor variable was preventive analgesia group. Patients were randomly divided in two groups. 50 mg iv dexketoprofen trometamol (Arveles 50mg/2mL; UFSA, İstanbul, Turkey) were administrated 30 minutes before incision in the treatment group (dexketoprofen trometamol n= 15

DRUGSteril Salin (control)

30 minutes before incision in the treatment group (dexketoprofen trometamol n= 15) and iv sterile saline were administrated 30 minutes before incision in the placebo group (saline n= 15).

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative 1st hours Pain Score on the Visual Analog Scalepostoperative 1st hoursThe postoperative pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) at postoperative 1st hours. 0 represents least pain, 50 represents moderate pain, and 100 represents maximum pain.
Postoperative 3rd hours Pain Score on the Visual Analog Scalepostoperative 3rd hours.The postoperative pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) at postoperative 3rd hours. 0 represents least pain, 50 represents moderate pain, and 100 represents maximum pain.
Postoperative 6th hours Pain Score on the Visual Analog Scalepostoperative 6th hours.The postoperative pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) at postoperative 6th hours.0 represents least pain, 50 represents moderate pain, and 100 represents maximum pain.
Postoperative 9th hours Pain Score on the Visual Analog Scalepostoperative 9th hours.The postoperative pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) at postoperative 9th hours.0 represents least pain, 50 represents moderate pain, and 100 represents maximum pain.
Postoperative 12th hoursPain Score on the Visual Analog Scalepostoperative 12th hours.The postoperative pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) at postoperative 12th hours. 0 represents least pain, 50 represents moderate pain, and 100 represents maximum pain.
Postoperative 24th hours Pain Score on the Visual Analog Scalepostoperative 24th hours.The postoperative pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) at postoperative 24th hours. 0 represents least pain, 50 represents moderate pain, and 100 represents maximum pain.
3D measure of postoperative swelling3D images were taken one (T0) day before surgery.3dMD Face System (3dMD, ATLANTA, GA, USA) was used for 3D imaging of postoperative swelling. The same clinician took the 3D images from patients in natural head position, maximum intercuspation and eyes open. The 3dMD Vultus Software (3dMD, Atlanta, GA) was used to analyse the images. The 3-month postoperative 3D image (t90) was selected as the reference image to compare with other images. After cutting and customizing the images by anatomical structures, scans t0-t30 were matched to the reference scan t90. The forehead, nasion, tragus, medial and lateral canthus were used for surface matching. After surface matching, the volume difference between the masks was calculated
