A randomized, double-blind, study aimed to see if preemptive analgesia with Ibuprofen improves pain management after a dental implant surgery.
Taking Ibuprofen before tooth implantation greatly reduces early postoperative pain and minimizes discomfort without causing any major side effects.
A randomized, double-blind, study aimed to see if preemptive analgesia with Ibuprofen improves pain management after a dental implant surgery.
Over 82 participants were randomly divided into two groups (each having 41 participants) in this trial:
Both groups obtained the same pain relief therapy post-surgery for 3 days. Pain levels were measured at several intervals up to 72 hours, and additional medication use was tracked from days 4 to 6 using the numerical rating scale.
Out of the initial 82 participants, 75 completed the trial. The Ibuprofen group reported significantly lower pain scores at 4, 6, and 8 hours post-surgery compared to the control group. No adverse effects like nausea or vomiting were reported. While fewer patients in the Ibuprofen group needed extra pain meds between days 4 and 6, the difference was not statistically noteworthy.
Using Ibuprofen before undergoing dental implant surgery reduces postoperative pain, thereby enhancing patient comfort throughout the recovery period.
