Clinical Trial Summary

Background and aim: Postoperative pain is an adverse effect of oral surgeries and may therefore be prevented or minimized. This study compares the efficacy of preemptive ibuprofen and dexamethasone protocols in pain prevention and control after surgical implant placement.

Methods: For this prospective, double-masked, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial, 117 dental implants were placed. The groups received three different protocols 1 hour before surgery:

1. 600 mg ibuprofen (and another 600 mg dose 6 hours after the first dose);

2. 4 mg dexamethasone (and another 4 mg 6 hours after the first dose) or

3. placebo.

Rescue medication (1000 mg acetaminophen) was given to each patient who was instructed to take it if necessary. Pain intensity was evaluated by a 101-point numeric rate scale and visual analogue scale, additionally discomfort was evaluated using a four-point verbal rate scale, hourly for the first 8 hours after surgery and three times a day on the following 3 days.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measures levels of pain. a visual analog scale (VAS) consisting of a 10-cm line with two extremes at either end; "no pain" and "pain that could not be more severe". Patients were asked to mark a point on the line that represented their level of perceived pain. 8 hours-time Yes
Secondary the 101-point numerical rate scale (NRS-101) was used to measures levels of pain. the patients were asked to rate their pain intensity on a numeric scale ranging from 0 to 100. 8 hours-time Yes
Secondary The 4-point verbal rating scale (VRS-4) was used to measures levels of discomfort. the patient specifies one of four options: no discomfort, some discomfort, considerable discomfort, or discomfort that could not be more severe. 8 hours-time Yes
