Brief Summary  

The aim of the randomized controlled trial is to compare efficacy of methylprednisolone administration in masseter muscle versus deltoid muscle on postoperative sequalae in minor oral surgery. Patients with partially or completely bony/soft tissue impacted mandibular third molars with age group of 20-40 years will be included in the study. The primary and secondary parameters for comparison includes pain, facial edma, maximum interincisal opening, wound healing assessment and total number of postoperative analgesics taken by patient. Clinical assessment of the patients will be done on the day of surgery and first, third and seventh day postoperatively.
