INTRODUCTION The present clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficiency of paracetamol alone and in combination with 3 different nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for control of post-endodontic pain. METHODS The inclusion criteria were moderate to severe pain of irreversible pulpitis, by using the Verbal Rating Scale and a 4-10 score on the Numerical Rating Scale, on anterior or premolar ...

BACKGROUND Post-obturation pain is frustrating to both patients and dentists. Its incidence may change with the use of contemporary endodontic techniques. This randomised clinical trial aims to compare the incidence of post-obturation pain at one and seven days after single-visit and multiple-visit non-surgical endodontic treatments. METHODS Patients who required primary endodontic treatment ...

AIM To investigate the efficacy of using antibiotics in post endodontic treatment as a method to alleviate post-treatment pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS After completion of endodontic treatment 129 patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (65 patients) received Ibuprofen 400 mg one tablet before procedure and one tablet every 8 hours for the first day, then one tablet once indicat...

JADA 142(6) http://jada.ada.org June 2011 651 A45-year-old woman visited her general dentist because of severe pain in the right mandibular posterior region. Her first molar contained a large mesialocclusal-distal amalgam restoration, and the patient experienced symptoms consistent with irreversible pulpitis. In addition, radiographs showed changes associated with the mesial root. The second mo...

A retrospective survey was designed to identify diagnostic subgroups and clinical factors associated with odontogenic pain and discomfort in dental urgency patients. A consecutive sample of 1,765 patients seeking treatment for dental pain at the Urgency Service of the Dental School of the Federal University of Goiás, Brazil, was selected. Inclusion criteria were pulpal or periapical pain that o...

9 based on reducing tissue levels of inflammatory mediators. Thus, the effective debridement of the infected root canal system, combined with incision for drainage and occlusal reduction if indicated, provides predictable pain reduction strategies in endodontic emergency patients. Antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in the management of endodontic pain. NSAIDs reduce pain and infl...

INTRODUCTION Post endodontic pain is often linked to the inflammatory process as well as additional central mechanisms. The purpose of the present double-blind randomized clinical trial study was to compare the prophylactic effects of a derivative of Zingiber Officinale, Zintoma, and Ibuprofen on post endodontic pain of molars with irreversible pulpitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The post endodon...

Effective pain management of the endodontic emergency patient is often a problem. Ketorolac tromethamine is the first nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug available for intramuscular injection in the United States. Although its analgesic efficacy is comparable with opiates after intramuscular injection, to date no study has evaluated its efficacy after intraoral periapical injection. Fifty-two e...
