1.The effect of pre-operative steroid injection on the relief of complaint after third molar surgery.
Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons 2003;29(3):157-162
BACKGROUND: The surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar can result in considerable pain, swelling, and dysfunction that patient are incapable of work for several days. Factors contributing to post operative swelling, trismus and pain are complex. There is no question but that the procedure of surgically removing an impacted mandibular third molar is inherently a traumatic one and that some sequelae related to the inflammation response are expected. Meticulous surgical technique will minimize the sequelae of inflammation but will not prevent them. In an effort to minimize these sequelae the use of steroid was instituted. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Present study was to investigate the effect of one preoperative steroid injection in the masseter muscle to the patients(male 9, female 11) who needed prophylactic removal of bilateral , symmetrical, impacted wisdom teeth in the mandible on the complaint like swelling, trismus and pain. through Double-Blind test. RESULTS: 1. After 24 hours investigation, preoperative steroid injection had significantly reduced swelling with 39% and trismus with 57.5%. 2. 7th post operative day investigation, reduced swelling and trismus had shown, however, not significant. 3. There wasn't major difference from the group who took preve-ntive steroid in the visual analogue scale, the first analgesic intake time and the pain period. 4. There wasn't any adverse reaction of steroid for 20 patient From the above result, If the patients are not contraindication to steroid and pronounced post operative reaction can be expected the use of steroid to the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar is recommended.

We analyzed the clinical result of trabeculectomy with amniotic membrane transplantation which has antifibrotic and antiinflammatory action in risky glaucoma patients. Subjects were included four eyes of four patients with neovascular glaucoma, one eye of one patient with primary open angle glaucoma and four eyes of three patients with congenital glaucoma. After limbal based scleral flap was made in triangular shape with 5x4 mm sized, amniotic membrane, sized by 6x6 mm with epithelial side up, was placed on the scleral flap and then sutured to medial and lateral portion at 3 mm superior to base of scleral flap base with 10-0 nylon(2 points). The state of bleb, intraocular pressure and complications were observed at postoperative 1st, 3rd, 6th and 9th week. The IOP was reduced from 33.6+/-11.1 mmHg, to 15.5+/-6.5 mmHg at postoperative one week, 17.0+/-8.3 mmHg at three weeks, 16.9+/-8.1 mmHg at six weeks, 17.1+/-6.4 mmHg at nine weeks. 6 eyes(77.7%)had controlled IOP under 21 mmHg without antiglaucomatous agents at last follow up. Avascular blebs were observed throughout postoperative period in all subjects. Postoperative complications were shallow anterior chamber in one eye at 1st week and low intraocular pressue in one eye at 1st, 3rd week, that resolved at six weeks. Trabeculectomy with amniotic membrane transplantation on the scleral flap appeared to be effective as an augment therapy for filtering surgery in risky glaucoma.
