Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Surgical removal of impacted third molars is one of the main procedures performed on young adults and adolescents. A randomised control trial consisting of 30 subjects in the age group of 18-50 years was undertaken to evaluate analgesic and anti-inflammatory efficacy of Proteolytic enzymes: Trypsin and Chymotrypsin on Swelling, Pain and Trismus after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. Based on the present study, proteolytic enzymes: Trypsin and Chymotrypsin gave better results with respect to pain, swelling and trismus after removal of impacted mandibular third molars. They provide a safe and effective alternative to reduce the severity of postoperative discomfort after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:&#10;12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
