    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.
