Brief Summary   This is a Randomised  control study to see the efficency of submucosal  versus intravenous dexamethasone injection for the reduction of post operative sequlae like swelling,pain and mouth opening  following the oral minor surgical procedures. 

The primary objective will be assessment of postoperative swelling after submucosal and intravenous dexamethasone 2ml,8mg injection on the immediate post operative and post operative 7th day.
The secondary objective is to  assess the postoperative pain and mouth opening after submucosal and intravenous dexamethasone 2ml,8mg injection on the 1st and  7th day.

submucosal injection forbids the extra armamentarium and easy absorption due to the rich vascular supply in the site of  pterygomandibular region and maxillary posterior buucal side.
intravenous injection needs extra exoertise and armamentarium it will create more anxiety and pain to the patient and it can cause another complications like thrombophlebitis.
