Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • pain intensity (intra-operative pain)

    pain intensity during endodontic treatment, measured by Visual Analogue Scale (pain scale)

    1 hour after administration of the drug up to 2 hours till the end of endodontic treatment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • alleviation of pain severity

    24 hours

  • number of analgesic tablets taken by the patient after endodontic treatment

    24 hours

Study Arms (2)

Celebrex premedication

EXPERIMENTAL

Celebrex is a NSAID with selective COX-2 inhibition properties, is given as an intervention to assess the pain

Drug: Celebrex premedication

Placebo tablets

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

placebo tablets to compare the efficacy of Celebrex on the intra-operative and post-operative pain accompanying endodontic treatment of teeth with irreversible pulpits

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

celebrex (celecoxib) 200mg is a non-steroidal anti-infalmmatory drug with selective COX-2 inhibition.

Also known as: Celecoxib
Celebrex premedication

placebo is given as a tablet before initiation of endodontic treatment

Placebo tablets
