Abstract
Anticipating which patients will require supplemental opioid use following third molar extraction is a challenge with significant benefits for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Studies have attempted to link indices such as the Pederson Difficulty Index to post operative pain intensity with variable results. In this study we assess accuracy of surgeon prediction based on panoramic radiographs and the Pederson Difficulty Index in anticipating which patients will require supplemental opioids in
