Brief Summary  

Pain is one of the most important complications in the extraction of teeth which can even     cause the patients not willing to seek further dental treatment. Becoming aware of the need for a surgery evokes feelings of fear and anxiety in many patients. Dexmedetomidine is a selective alpha‑2 adrenoceptor agonist. It is conventionally used as a sedative in the intensive care unit.

However, recently, the application of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to a local anesthetic agent has been studied. The present study intends to evaluate the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to 2% lignocaine with adrenaline for surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar.

A total of 15 patients who require surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar extraction will be included in the study. Patients in the study group will receive 2%

lignocaine and adrenaline with 1 mcg/ml dexmedetomidine. Patients in the control group will receive 2% lignocaine with 1:200000 adrenaline. The parameters for evaluation will be onset and duration of action, pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and blood loss along with patient satisfaction score.
