Study Notes
- Ibuprofen and high doses of aspirin during pregnancy have been linked to birth defects and heart/blood vessel damage in babies.
- A study compared the efficacy and tolerability of various analgesic combinations for post-operative dental pain.
- The study found that the single-tablet combination of ibuprofen/paracetamol was statistically significantly more effective and had fewer adverse effects than codeine combinations.
- Codeine has side effects, including nausea and vomiting.
- In non-vital cases, antibiotics may not be effective against infected root canal systems due to poor circulation and limited diffusion.
- A study showed that systemically administered antibiotics do not relieve pain from irreversible pulpitis.
- A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that preoperative antibiotics had no effect on endodontic flare-ups in asymptomatic, necrotic teeth.
- Factors contributing to endodontic flare-ups include tooth type, presence of periapical radiolucencies, and history of previous pain.
- The use of occlusal reduction during endodontic treatment can reduce pain.
- The absence of periradicular radiolucency, percussion sensitivity, and history of preoperative pain were predictive factors for post-endodontic pain.
- The tooth's vitality and preoperative pain were not predictive factors for post-endodontic pain.
- In a study, patients with non-vital pulps and percussion sensitivity reported more severe pain 48 hours after treatment.
- The presence of preoperative pain was not a significant predictor of post-endodontic pain.
