abstract={<i>Aim:</i> Pain and swelling following surgery for impacted third molars can be controlled by various methods. This study compared the analgesic and anti-inflammatory efficacy and tolerability of lornoxicam, aspirin and a placebo with and without conscious sedation in impacted mandibular third-molar surgery. <i>Materials and Methods: </i>60 patients undergoing third-molar surgery were divided into 2 groups of conscious sedation and routine local anesthesia (n=30). Both groups were divided into three subgroups (n=10) that received either Lornoxicam, aspirin, or a placebo postoperatively. <i>Results:</i> In both the conscious sedation and local anesthesia groups, swelling reduction was significantly greater with Lornoxicam compared to aspirin and placebo (p&lt; .05). Pain values were significantly lower for Lornoxicam group compared to both aspirin and placebo groups at 6, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively (p&lt; .05). <i>Conclusion:</i> Conscious sedation resulted less pain and swelling. Moreover, Lornoxicam was found to be an effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent for use in conjunction with oral surgery.},
