Brief Summary

Pain after periodontal surgical procedures is a common manifestation. The perception of pain is highly subjective and varies substantially among individuals. Many factors affect pain perception, such as the nature, duration, and extent of the surgery and psychological aspects (e.g., stress and anxiety). Pain after periodontal surgery is an example of acute dental pain of mild to moderate severity. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have a significant advantage in the control of pain after periodontal or oral surgical procedures. Diclofenac is a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug that is well suited for local use in the oral cavity. Diclofenac competes with arachidonic acid in a dose dependent manner for binding with platelet COX. This results in decreased production of PG and thus reduces inflammation, swelling and pain. As Diclofenac associated with many adverse effects, like gastric irritability, nausea, headache, dizziness. Undesirable effects may be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms. As many of clinical trials have suggested Diclofeanc 50 mg alleviates the postoperative pain. So main aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low dose Diclofenac(25mg) in reducing the post operative pain after periodontal flap surgeries. Thus comparing the effects of low dose Diclofenac and Diclofenac 50mg for reducing post-operative pain.

Study Arms (2)

study group one side

EXPERIMENTAL

All patients were scheduled for open flap debridement surgery on at least two quadrants ≥1 weeks apart.One group will receive Low Dose Diclofenac tablets (25mg Diclofeanc and 325 mg paracetamol), BID for 3 days. The patients who are diagnosed with generalized moderate/severe chronic periodontitis will be included in study. For each quadrant, a flap was raised under local anesthesia (2% lignocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine). In both the quadrants same technique of anesthesia will be employed. The location and the extent of surgery, volume of the local anesthesia given, and time required to perform the surgical procedure will be recorded in the patient file. Patients will be instructed to complete a pain diary chart for 3 days.

Drug: low dose diclofenac

study group second side

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Other group will receive Diclofeanc (50mg Diclofenac and 325mg paracetamol), BID for 3 days. The patients who are diagnosed with generalized moderate/severe chronic periodontitis were included in study. For each quadrant, aperiodontal flap was raised under local anesthesia (2% lignocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine). In both the quadrants same technique of anesthesia will be employed. The location and the extent of surgery, volume of the local anesthesia given, and time required to perform the surgical procedure was recorded in the patient file. Patients were instructed to complete a pain diary chart for 3 days.

Drug: low dose diclofenac

Interventions

it is a split mouth design in which one side recieved low dose diclofenac(25mg) after periodontal flap surgery and in next week second side will recieve diclofenac 50mg after flap surgery.

Also known as: periodontal flap surgery, scaling and root planning
