Abstract

Paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ketorolac) is used to eliminate mild to moderate post operative pain. As a selective α-2 agonist adrenergic receptor of this group have analgesic and sedative effects. It is interesting to evaluate a single dose of two different analgesics having different effects, compared to each other on patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. 106 patients were taken into consideration, with severe pain in the current short study. Patients were blindly divided into groups. This includes Ketorol Dt Tablet as one group and Dan-P tablet as another. Participants were questioned about the pain scores at time intervals of 6 hrs, 12 hrs, 24 hrs and 3 days. The data collected was then tested for results, using statistical significance tests. The severity of pain decreased in the two interventional groups (p < 0.01) at 3 days. Data shows that both Dan-P and Ketorol Dt groups had similar effects after 3 days but group 1 of Ketorol Dt showed significant results after 24 hours at all time intervals. Thus, a single dose of Ketorol Dt (ketorolac), an analgesic, following cleaning and shaping of root canals relieved pain at every sitting of the treatment. However, group 1, Keterol Dt gave better results during the first 6hrs after cleaing and shaping of root canals compared to the Dan-P (Diclofenac and Paracetamol/Acetaminophen).
