Tramadol in Oral Surgery – A Literature Review

Abstract

Elimination of pain is one of the most important duties of a doctor. A surgeon has to come across more
number of cases where management of pain becomes a handful. Thus proper use of analgesics both systemic
and local are an integral part of any successful surgery. For decades NSAIDs has been the go to drug for
management of pain and administering anaelgesia. But recent pharmacological advancements have opened
up a new way of administering anaelgesia in the form of synthetic opiods. This review article aims at finding
out the efficacy of local administration of TRAMADOL in maxillofacial surgeries.
