A randomized, double blinded clinical trial investigating the analgesic and anesthetic effect of liposomal bupivacaine when used after periodontal surgical procedures in addition to standard of care provided local anesthesia. These parameters will be compared to a control group that will receive 0.5% bupivacaine after completion of the procedure during which standard of care local anesthesia will be used.
Primary Objective:
1. Postoperative pain as measured with a Visual Acuity Scale (VAS) (NRS-21)
Secondary Objectives:
2. Time (hours/minutes) for numbness due to local anesthetic to wear off
