Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis
Conditions
Keywords
Postoperative pain, Paracetamol, Placebo, Single visit root canal treatment
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of preoperative administration of acetaminophen- codeine -caffeine combination on the success of the inferior alveolar nerve block versus bacetaminophen alone or placebo in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
Detailed description
After ensuring eligibility, patients will be given premedication 1hr before treatment,which will be done in single visit. After 1 hour, Pretreatment pain pain after administration of analgesic or placebo will be recorded using 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS) . Local anesthesia will, then, be done through inferior alveolar nerve block using 1.8 ml Mepivacaine. The teeth will be isolated using rubber dam and access cavity will be prepared using #2 high-speed round bur. The patients will be asked to rate their pain on the NRS. The degree of pain during access preparation and/or instrumentation will be recorded. Success will be defined as no pain or mild pain during endodontic access preparation and/or instrumentation. Any pain more than no pain or mild pain will considered a failure. The patients will be instructed to return after 2 days to complete the treatment procedures.
Interventions
DRUGAcetaminophen and codeine and caffeine
The patient will receive pretreatment oral single dose of Combination of 1000mg acetaminophen- 16mg codeine- 60mg caffeine 1 hour before treatment.
DRUGAcetaminophen
The patient will receive pretreatment oral single dose of 1000mg acetaminophen alone 1 hour before treatment.
DRUGPlacebo
The patient will receive placebo (starch) 1hour before treatment.
