Woolf and Chong 6 described some adverse effects related to the use of these medications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, renal function disturbances, reduction and platelet function, respiratory depression, and profound hypotension. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematized review of the literature about the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents as preemptive analgesics administered orally in third-molar surgeries and to evaluate the outcome of their clinical effectiveness by means of meta-analysis.

nitrous oxide with midazolam is also used. This may bring about the beneficial effects of acceptance of the nitrous oxide mask and a decrease in the dose of midazolam used. Nitrous oxide sedation, which frequently reduces stress and anxiety in children undergoing dental treatment, is also commonly accepted by parents. 5 Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials aims to identify the level of sedation produced by a combination of nitrous oxide and parenteral midazolam in both adults and children.

the success rate of IANB and the lack of any systematic review on this issue justify conducting the present study. Therefore, this study was designed as a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available evidence to answer the question whether 3.6-mL volume of an anesthetic agent is more effective than 1.8-mL volume in providing anesthesia for mandibular molar teeth. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. 20 , 21
