One of the most important aspects of postsurgical care is finding an efficient way for the management of pain. Third molar extractions/surgical impaction is one of the most frequent surgical procedures in dental hospitals, and it is most often associated with postoperative complications like severe pain, oedema and reduced mouth opening. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 2 g intravenous (IV) vitamin C compared to 100 mg aceclofenac on postsurgical pain, swelling and trismus after the surgical removal of third molars. A total of 101 patients were recruited for the study, and theywere divided into two treatment groups; group A (n = 51) received 2 g IV vitamin C and group B (n = 50) received 100 mg aceclofenac. Pain intensity, facial swelling and mouth opening were assessed till day 3 post-surgically. Statistical analysis of pain intensity revealed that IV vitamin C performed slightly better but not significantly different (p&gt;0.05) from aceclofenac group at the end of day 3. No significant difference for facial swelling and mouth opening between the two treatment protocols was seen (p&gt;0.05). Our results concluded that both treatment groups were overall similar in analgesic efficacy, postoperative oedema and reduction in mouth opening. It was also determined that the method devised administering 2 g IV vitamin C intravenously was well suited to the treatment of postoperative pain, swelling and trismus following the surgical extraction of impacted third molars.
