Aescin-Based Herbal Extract (Reparil) for Postoperative Sequelae After Mandibular Third Molar Surgery

This randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Aescin-based herbal extract (Reparil®) compared with Ibuprofen in managing postoperative sequelae following surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. A total of 100 participants aged 18-40 years will be enrolled at the Dental Center, Medical City Hospital for Military and Security Services (MCMSS), Al Khoud, Oman. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Reparil® (Aescin 20 mg, three times daily for five days) or Ibuprofen (400 mg, three times daily for five days) following standardized third molar extraction procedures. Postoperative outcomes including pain (VAS), facial swelling (3D facial scanner), and mouth opening (digital caliper) will be assessed preoperatively, on day 2, and day 7 post-surgery. The study aims to determine whether Aescin offers comparable analgesic and anti-edematous effects to Ibuprofen with fewer adverse events.
