The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of piroxicam (20mg) compared to placebo on post-endodontic pain of single-visit endodontic treatment of non-vital mandibular molars.


Clinical Trial Description

- Patients will be clinically and radiographically examined and their eligibility will be assessed. Eligible patients will be treated in one visit.

- Patients will be randomly assigned to one of 2 groups: experimental group (premedication with 20 mg of piroxicam) and the control group (premedication with placebo). Each participant will receive a standard inferior alveolar nerve block injection. After endodontic treatment, patients will be given postoperative instructions and informed, in case of pain, to receive ibuprofen 200 mg as rescue medication.

- Postendodontic pain intensity and incidence at the different pain categories (No, mild, moderate, severe) will be assessed 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days postoperatively using a 0-10 numerical rate scale (NRS). Analgesic intake throughout the 7 days will be recorded. ;
