Brief Summary: Pain management has been an integral part of dentistry, and pediatric dentistry in peculiar (Gazal2007 ref 1) Pain endured after tooth extraction in children may cause anguish for both the child andtheir parents (Baygin 2011 ref 1). This can lead to increased fear, avoidance of future dentaltreatments, and other associated problems (Asley 2016 ref Carr 1999). Various techniques have beentried to lessen the pain following dental extraction in children, but none have been very efficacious(Gazal 2007 ref).In previous studies, analgesic use in children following extraction of their teeth was reported to bebeneficial (Begin 2011 ref 3). Gazal G showed that the preoperative oral usage of analgesics hadfavorable post-extraction pain relief properties over a placebo (Gazal G 2007 ref). Howbeit,contentious reports have been found in the literature about the effectiveness of preoperative inducedanalgesics on allaying post-extraction pain in pediatric populations. Nevertheless, studies on the useof preoperative analgesics on alleviation of post-extraction pain in children are scarce. McGaw et al.demonstrated ibuprofen to be more effectual than paracetamol or placebo for postoperative pain inchildren undergoing permanent tooth extraction (McGaw et al.1987). Primosch et al. reported nosignificant decrease in post-extraction pain between children in placebo and paracetamol groups(Primosch et al. 1993). Primosch et al. also conducted a study of 60 children to evaluate the efficacyof the pre-operative administration of ibuprofen and paracetamol compared with placebo for painrelief after teeth extractions. They concluded that the pre-operative administration of neitheranalgesic is superior to placebo administration (Primosch et al. 1995).The management of pain is of particular importance in pediatric dentistry where patient perceptionsof dental treatment are being established. However, to date, there is no evidence stating the need toprescribe analgesics for postoperative pain relief in children undergoing intra-alveolar extraction.

The Aim of our study is to evaluate the usage of analgesic in children following primary tooth extraction.
