Adult males & females between 18-65 years of age with moderate to severe pain due to symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) will be selected for this study. The subjects should not have used any analgesic or anti-depressant in past 6 hrs.
1) If the subject has consumed an analgesic or an anti-depressant less than six hours before presentation to the dental office will be excluded.
2) A selected candidate who refuses to sign the informed consent to be a part of this study shall not be included in the study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 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.
