A clinical study to compare the effect of 0.074% Diclofenac sodium mouthwash and 50 mg diclofenac sodium tablet in reduction of pain and swelling after gum surgery for pyorrhea.
- Conditions
- Patients indicated for conventional periodontal flap surgery
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2018/01/011352
- Brief Summary
All the patients will bescreened for periodontal findings. Sites meeting the inclusion criteria will be considered for the present study.This study is designed as randomized prospective split-mouth clinical trial.
In test group patients will be given0.074% diclofenac sodium mouthwash to be used at home for four days. Patientsin this group need to use the mouthwash for 1 min, twice daily for 4 days,starting one immediately after surgery. Test group patients will alsoprescribed diclofenac sodium 50mg tablet to be used if pain is not controlledby diclofenac mouthwash alone. Number of tablets used by the patient (if any)will also be recorded on their proforma sheet. In control group, patient willbe prescribed diclofenac sodium 50mg tablet twice daily for 4 days startingimmediately after surgery.
Randomizationwith regard to the choice of quadrant and choice of drug formulation (mouthwashor tablet) will be done by coin toss method. At least 15 days gap will bemaintained for second surgery in contralateral side when mode of therapy willbe switched.
Clinicalparameters will be checked at baseline, 7 days after surgery 1 month and 3months after surgery. Pain perception of patient will be scored using NumericalRating Scale. Data will be collected telephonically in the evening daily for 4days. Along with that patient will be given ‘Wong Baker scale’ score sheet tooand will be asked to fill it in the evening daily for 4 days. No perio dressingwill be placed after surgery in either group. At 7 days follow-up patient willbe asked about the acceptability of the mouthwash. At last follow-up of secondsurgery, patient will be asked about their personal preference betweenmouthwash and tablet for pain reduction.
We hypothesize that diclofenacsodium local application (0.074% mouthwash) will have equal analgesic effect ascompared to its systemic administration (tablet), but it would be better interms of its anti-inflammatory effect and patient’s acceptability when usedafter periodontal flap surgery.
