dc.description.abstractBackground: Postoperative supplemental maintenance following mandibular third molar surgery remains an area of interest. Purpose: Topical agents can modulate inflammatory processes. The aim of the present study was to determine if topical application of arnica or mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MPSP) reduces pain, trismus, and edema following the removal of impacted mandibular third molars. Materials and methods: A single center randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted. The patients were randomized into three groups: the control group (standard therapy [ST]: antibiotic + nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs twice a day), the arnica group (arnica + ST), and the MPSP group (MPSP + ST). The patients' pain, trismus, and edema values were measured preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, and 10. Sex, age, and operation time were also included. Analyses included descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, post hoc tests, and determinations of intraclass correlation coefficients. Statistical significance was set at P < .05. Results: Sixty patients with a mean age of 26.98 +/- 10.88 years were included in the study; 55% were females and 45% were males. The mean operation time was 23.8 +/- 3.27 minutes. According to the visual analogue scale scores (in centimeter units), the arnica and MPSP groups felt less pain than the control group until day 5 (0.6 +/- 0.88, 3.75 +/- 1.16, 4.75 +/- 1.29, and 1.05 +/- 1.10, respectively, for the arnica group; 0.35 +/- 0.59, 3.25 +/- 1.62, 5.0 +/- 1.65, and 1.50 +/- 1.32 for the MPSP group; and 1.30 +/- 1.17, 5.75 +/- 1.37, 7.05 +/- 1.10, and 3.15 +/- 1.53 for the control group; P < .05). The trismus was lower on days 1, 3, and 5 in the arnica group (-8.05 +/- 2.82, -12.15 +/- 3.1, and -2.15 +/- 1.81, respectively) than in the control group (-12 +/- 3.82, -15.65 +/- 4.81, and -4 +/- 2.81, respectively) (P < .05). The edema was lower on days 1 and 3 in the MPSP group (0.95 +/- 2.2 and 1.75 +/- 3.7, respectively) than in the control group (2.45 +/- 0.9 and 3.6 +/- 0.8, respectively) (P < .05). Arnica and MPSP had similar pain-relieving action, but arnica was more effective at reducing trismus, while MPSP was more effective at reducing edema. Conclusions: Topical application of arnica or MPSP may have a beneficial effect on relieving pain 5 days after surgery, but arnica was also effective at reducing trismus, while MPSP was also effective at reducing edema. Both arnica and MPSP reduced postoperative sequelae.en_US
