Abstrakt: This study was conducted to compare preoperative administration of Ibuprofen, combination of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen, Ketorolac versus Placebo for potential increased effectiveness of Inferior alveolar nerve block anaesthesia. Twenty eight patients with irreversible pulpitis were randomly assigned to a drug or placebo group. Cold testing was done using ice sticks to determine the level of pain using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score. Medication was given 30 minutes before the procedure. Under strict aseptic condition Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block was given using 2% Lignocaine with 1:200,000 adrenaline. Patients were again tested for VAS score after 15 minutes and instructed to inform if any pain was felt during the endodontic procedure. Success rate was 57.1% for Ibuprofen, 71.4% for Ketorolac and combination of Ibuprofen Acetaminophen and 28.5% for placebo groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
