These postoperative sequelae result from an acute inflammatory response triggered by surgical trauma. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), particularly Ibuprofen, are widely prescribed for symptom control but are often associated with gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular adverse effects. Hence, safer alternatives with comparable efficacy are being investigated.\n\nAescin, a natural saponin derived from Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut), exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, and venotonic properties. It acts by stabilizing capillary membranes, reducing vascular permeability, and inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine and prostaglandins. Reparil tablets containing Aescin have been clinically validated for treating soft tissue edema and chronic venous insufficiency but have not been extensively evaluated in oral surgical applications.\n\nThis prospective, single-center, randomized, single-blind controlled trial will compare the postoperative efficacy of Aescin (Reparil) versus Ibuprofen in patients undergoing surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) into two treatment groups using computer-generated allocation with pharmacist-controlled concealment. Both the operator and the outcome assessor will be blinded to treatment allocation.\n\nPain intensity will be measured using a 10-point Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Facial swelling will be objectively assessed using a 3D facial scanner (Revopoint POP 3), and trismus will be measured as the maximum interincisal distance. Assessments will be performed at baseline, postoperative day 2, and day 7. A rescue analgesic (diclofenac sodium 50 mg) will be provided for uncontrolled pain.\n\nAll data will be recorded via EpiData version 4.6, with statistical analysis conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics version 30.0. The primary endpoint is postoperative pain reduction; secondary endpoints include facial edema, trismus improvement, and adverse drug effects. This study will contribute to evidence on the use of herbal-based anti-inflammatory agents as potential alternatives to conventional NSAIDs in oral surgery.",[38,44],{"label":39,"type":40,"description":41,"interventionNames":42},"Aescin (Reparil®) Group","EXPERIMENTAL","Participants will receive Reparil®-Dragees tablets containing Aescin 20 mg, manufactured by Meda Pharmaceuticals (Germany), administered orally three times daily (TID) for five consecutive days following surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar.
