title: Double-blind study of prednisolone and papase as inhibitors of complications after oral surgery.
abstract: Both prednisolone and papase are effective in reducing the oral surgical sequelae of trismus and pain, although prednisolone apparently is the more potent drug. The countervailing case for the routine use of prednisolone includes the relatively serious complications produced in some patients.
