Efficacy of Buprenorphine Added 2  Lignocaine 1:80000 in Postoperative Analgesia After Minor Oral Surgery

摘要

PurposeRecent studies have demonstrated that opioid analgesia cannot be exclusively attributed to effects within central nervous system. Peripheral opioid receptors exist that can be activated by locally applied opioid agonists which mediate analgesic effects that are particularly prominent in painful inflammatory conditions. Patients who present themselves with conditions requiring minor surgery in the maxillo-facial region usually have associated ongoing inflammatory process. The aim of our study was to apply the concept of peripheral opioid analgesia in minor oral surgery and evaluate its effectiveness in managing postoperative pain. The present study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of buprenorphine added lignocaine 2 % in providing postoperative analgesia after minor oral surgery.
