| Popis: | Introduction: 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% plain lignocaine for surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar and to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine with 2% plain lignocaine with 2% lignocaine and 1:200000 adrenaline. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 patients who required surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar extraction were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups using a computer-generated table. Patients in the study group received 2% plain lignocaine with 1 mcg/ml dexmedetomidine. Patients in the control group received 2% lignocaine with 1:200000 adrenaline. The parameters evaluated were onset and duration of action, pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and blood loss. Results: Onset of action was faster and the duration of action was longer when dexmedetomidine was used with lignocaine as a local anesthetic agent. The vital parameters in both the groups were stable. Bleeding at the surgical site was less in the dexmedetomidine group. Conclusion: The study concluded that the combination of dexmedetomidine with lignocaine enhances the local anesthetic potency of lignocaine when injected for nerve blocks. |
