Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of ibuprofen sustained release (SR) oral premedication on the efficacy of buccal infiltration (BI) with intraoperative and postoperative pain after single-visit root canal treatment. Sixty patients diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis in mandibular molar were divided into two groups. Group SR received ibuprofen SR 800 mg and group PL received placebo capsule 1 h before 3.6 mL articaine BI injection. Pain was recorded using a modified visual analogue scale and postoperatively at intervals 6, 24 and 48 h. Group SR showed a significantly higher anaesthetic success rate (73.3%) compared to group PL (46.7%) (p < 0.05). Intraoperative and postoperative pain was significantly higher in group PL compared to group SR (p < 0.05). Premedication of ibuprofen SR improved the efficacy of primary BI in mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and decreased postoperative pain at 6 and 48 h.

Keywords: ibuprofen; irreversible pulpitis; mandibular molars; postoperative pain; premedication; sustained release.
