Study Summary

The most prevalent complaint after third molar extractions is pain. There have been many modalities and regimens developed to manage post-operative pain, such as modifications in surgical techniques, locally-applied medicaments, and oral analgesics. Recently, liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) has been FDA approved for single-dose infiltration in the oral cavity in adults and children (6 years or older) to produce extended postsurgical local anesthesia. We hypothesize that the administration of liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) at the end of third molar extractions will decrease postoperative pain and decrease narcotic use for pain management.
