Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The drugs under study will surely effect the pain perception of the patient & hence cause modification in the pulp sensibility reflected by the VAS scale for pain. This will help us reach a conclusion which NSAID should be given prior to treatment in cases of symptomatic irreversible pulpits, a highly painful situation so that the patient has a pleasant & pain free experience during the treatment of a painful tooth.Timepoint: It involves data at 0 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes & 60 minutes & would be a single sitting procedure.
