Objective This study aimed to compare the analgesic effect of ibuprofen 400 mg given 30 minutes before or immediately after third molars surgery under local anaesthesia. Materials and Methods The single‐center, randomized, split‐mouth, triple‐blind, clinical trial involved 38 outpatients, for a total of 76 bilateral symmetrical fully bone impacted mandibular third molars. Each patient was undergone to separate surgical sessions for the right and left side, and ibuprofen was randomly administered 30 minutes before or immediately after the intervention.

Background: The displacement of a third molar is a rare occurrence, but it could lead to serious and/or life threatening complication. Aim of this review is to understand the most correlated causes of displacement and the possible
solutions proposed in literature to avoid and solve this complication for maxillary and mandibular third molars at
the appropriate time.
Material and Methods: A search for “third molar displacement” was performed by using Pubmed database. Articles
