Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is premedication efficacy of analgesics on post endodontic pain. Sixty-six healthy adult volunteers including criteria, are participating. The patients will be divided into 3 groups and will be randomly given one of pre medications including 1) 10 mg Ketorolac, 2) 10 mg Ketorolac plus 1000mg Acetaminophen, and 3)Placebo, 45 minutes before applying the injection. All patients will receive standard root canal treatment. Patients will record their post treatment pain using a Heft parker Visual Analog Scale(VAS). Success will be considered as no or mild pain (VAS≤54)with no need to take analgesic. Data will be analysed using Mann-U-Whitney and Kruskal-wallis tests.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is premedication efficacy of analgesics on post endodontic pain. Sixty-six healthy adult volunteers with age ranged 18-65, non smoking or any medicine consumption, non pregnant or break feeding who haven't received any analgesic during 24 hours before the treatment, are participating. The patients will be divided into 3 groups and will be randomly given one of premedications including 1) 10 mg Ketorolac, 2) 10 mg Ketorolac plus 1000mg Acetaminophen, and 3)Placebo, 45 minutes before the treatment. All patients will receive a standard root canal treatment. Patients will record their post treatment pain using a Heft parker Visual Analog Scale(VAS). Success will be considered as no or mild pain (VAS≤54) with no need to take analgesic during 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours intervals following the treatment. Data will be analysed using Mann-U-Whitney and Kruskal-wallis tests.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pain rate change based on visual analog scale(VAS) form

Time Frame: 6,12,24,and 48 hour intervals

Each patient receives a VAS form and record his/her pain rate on the VAS form whenever he/she feels any pain during each interval after the treatment. If the patient has to take any analgesic, she/he will record the pain rate on that interval and will not continue filling the forms out on the next intervals.

Secondary Outcomes

No secondary outcomes reported
