16 Years to 35 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria were: healthy subjects, aged over 16 years of either sex, without contraindications for corticoid treatment, no history of pericoronitis for the last 6 months, no history of recent illness that required medications that could alter the inflammatory response, no use of medication that could interfere with the healing process and who required extraction of all four third molars. The extractions were all of similar technical difficulty and orthopantomography showed positioning and depth of impaction to be symmetrical in each arch. All patients required ostectomy and tooth sectioning of the lower third molar to achieve extraction. The difficulty was determined by means of the Pell and Gregory classification.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Lower formation of swelling, trismus and pain after extraction of third molars from the side of the mouth in which the exodontia was made and intramuscular corticosteroid administration in relation to the side administered orally is expected. The method used to evaluate swelling and trismus was through the measurement of predetermined points, and to measure the pain a visual scale was used. From the observation of a variation in the pre- and post-intervention measurements, we can see if the outcome actually occurred. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find differences between measures of swelling at different preoperative moments, 48 hours and 7 days after extraction.
