title: Prolonged analgesia following preoperative bupivacaine neural blockade for oral surgery performed under general anesthesia.
abstract: The effectiveness of prolonged neural blockade following removal of impacted third molars under general anesthesia was evaluated in a controlled clinical study. There was a significant reduction in the amount of postoperative pain experienced, and no complications, either local or systemic, occurred. The technique has advantages, especially when general anesthesia is administered to outpatients.
