An Atlas of Dental Extractions, with Notes on the Causes and Relief of Dental Pain

Comparison of paracetamol, ibuprofen, and diclofenac potassium for pain relief following dental extractions and deep cavity preparations

OBJECTIVES To compare the effectiveness of different oral analgesics for relieving pain and distress in adults following the extraction of teeth and deep cavity preparations under local anesthesia. Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted between November 2015 and May 2016. One hundred and twenty patients were randomly allocated to 3 groups. Forty patients were in the paracetamol...

Streptococcal bacteraemia in children following dental extractions.

Since the work of Okell and Elliott (1935) and of Burket and Burn (1937), it has been established that a bacteraemia occurs in many cases after dental manipulation, particularly where periodontal disease is present. This bacteraemia is transient, lasting about 10 minutes according to Northrop and Crowley (1943) and up to 30 minutes according to Shafer, Hine, and Levy (1963). It is usually consi...

Oral nalbuphine for the treatment of pain after dental extractions.

A randomized, double-blind comparison of nalbuphine 30 mg or 60 mg by mouth and dihydrocodeine 30 mg by mouth was conducted in 75 patients with moderate to severe pain after surgery for dental extractions under general anaesthesia. A significant reduction in pain intensity followed each treatment and persisted throughout the 4-h observation period after nalbuphine, but only for 3 h after dihydr...

Pain Measurement through Temperature Changes in Children Undergoing Dental Extractions

Background and Objective. Pain evaluation in children can be a difficult task, since it possesses sensory and affective components that are often hard to discriminate. Infrared thermography has previously been used as a diagnostic tool for pain detection in animals; therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the presence of temperature changes during dental extractions and to evaluate its c...
