[Oral dexketoprofen tromethamine for preemptive analgesia in extraction of impacted teeth: a randomized controlled
1Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hefei Stomatology Hospital. Hefei 230001, China.
Purpose:
To study the preemptive analgesic effect of dexketoprofen tromethamine in extraction of impacted teeth.
Methods:
Twenty patients with bilateral mandibular impacted teeth were selected, and were randomly divided into dexketoprofen tromethamine group(experimental group) and placebo group(control group). The pain scores of patients at 0.5, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after tooth extraction were counted by numeric rating scale(NRS), and the total dosage of emergent analgesic drugs used in 24 hours was recorded. COX analysis method was used to compare the interval time and the number of cases of first application of emergent analgesic drugs after two operations, and the survival curve was drawn. SPSS 20.0 software package was used for data analysis.
Results:
The NRS scores of postoperative pain in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours after operation (P<0.05). The dose of emergent analgesics used in the experimental group for 24 h was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Survival curve showed that the interval time between the first application of analgesics in the experimental group was significantly longer than that in the control group(P<0.05).
Conclusions:
Dexketoprofen tromethamine can achieve obvious analgesic effect within 12 hours, but the analgesic effect is not obvious after 12 hours.
