What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of 4mg and 8mg dexamethasone administered submucosally in reducing postoperative pain after dental implant surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 4mg dexamethasone, 8mg dexamethasone, or a placebo (normal saline) at the surgical site. Later, postoperative pain will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale at 6 hours after the surgery and daily for the next 6 days. Also the number of pain-relief tablets consumed after the surgery will be recorded. Preoperative anxiety will be assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire to assess its association with postoperative pain scores. The results of this study will help determine the optimal dose of dexamethasone that is effective for postoperative pain control following dental implant surgery.
