Filter by:The overall objective of this proposal is to understand the barriers and facilitators to non-traumatic dental condition (NTDC) management in the emergency department (ED) through quantitative and qualitative methods. The first aim will determine the national variation in NTDC prescribing in the ED and subsequent ED/urgent care revisits and hospitalizations within 30-days of an index ED visit. Using national electronic health records and integrated claims datasets and a random effects model, we will identify factors associated with prescribing for NTDC and variation at the patient, provider, hospital and state levels. The second aim identifies ED providers' perceived barriers and facilitators to the management of NTDC in the ED. Using individual in depth interviews, ED providers (physicians, advanced practice providers) will identify the facilitators and barriers to management and prescribing for NTDC in the ED.
Dental pain, a common issue in stomatology, requires a multifaceted treatment approach. This study explores the efficacy of combining Ibuprofen with curcumin and liquorice root supplements for managing postoperative dental pain. Curcumin, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with liquorice root, may enhance pain relief beyond conventional NSAIDs like Ibuprofen. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this combination therapy in adults undergoing the removal of impacted third molars. Participants, aged 18-85, were divided into groups receiving different doses of Ibuprofen and curcumin with liquorice root, compared to a control group receiving Ibuprofen and placebo. The primary outcome is the sum of pain intensity differences over 8 hours, with secondary outcomes including total pain relief and the occurrence of any adverse events. The anticipated sample size, considering a 20% dropout rate, is 264 participants, ensuring the study is powered to detect significant differences in pain management efficacy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate post-operative pain (PEP) in teeth with symptomatic pulpitis following Vital Pulpotomy Treatments (VPT) with Calcium Silicate Cement (CSC). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the post-operative pain one week after VPT significantly lower than pre-operative pain in permanent molars with symptomatic pulpitis? - How does post-operative pain in these teeth correlate with patient-related factors, such as age, gender, and painkiller intake? Participants will: - Undergo Vital Pulpotomy Treatment with Calcium Silicate Cement (MTA) - Provide pain level assessments before VPT, immediately post-treatment, and at 24, 72 hours, and 1 week after treatment. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the post-operative pain levels in teeth with symptomatic pulpitis undergoing VPT to assess its effectiveness in reducing pain compared to a control group not undergoing the treatment.
Study involves the observation of the child's behavior during a dental treatment procedure. This allows for the evaluation of the child's experience of pain and discomfort through their facial expressions, body movements, and vocalizations during the procedure.
Adult patients with dental anxiety or phobia constitute a population for which access to dental care is difficult and this situation is often associated with am low socio-economic status. According to the literature, these patients avoid conventional care, make greater use of emergency services, and self-medicate when experiencing dental pain. Moreover, little is known in the literature about the use of self medication in France, although it is known that in the general population does self medicate a lot. The objective of this study is to better understand the self-medication behaviors of patients in order to improve their care. This work aim at characterizing a population of adults in need of treatment for dental pain of pulpal or periapical origin and anxious or phobic adults in need of for dental treatment under general anesthesia. Self-medication behaviors will be studied in qualitative research during recorded interviews.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well a fixed combination of acetaminophen/naproxen sodium relieves postoperative dental pain compared with acetaminophen, naproxen sodium and placebo.
The purpose of this research study is to compare responses in children during dental injections of local anesthetic (used for numbing), while children are under deep sedation (breathing on their own, often with a loss of consciousness). Two types of local anesthetic will be used--one will be buffered (by adding a salt solution to make it less acidic), while the other will be plain, without anything added. Previous studies have shown that the addition of the buffer solution can improve comfort during a dental injection.
Objectives: The main objective of the study is to investigate 1. How many patients will attend and complete dental care if they are offered it for free during the stay at "The department of substance abuse treatment, University Hospital North Norway (UNN) in Narvik". 2. Explore whether a parallel dental treatment in addition to the other treatment at the department has a beneficial effect on the abuse treatment, or whether it can be disruptive to offer dental treatment in combination with admission for drug rehabilitation?
Researchers are looking for a better way to relieve pain in people, such as after dental surgery. Participants in this study, have had 3 or 4 third molars (cheek teeth) removed and subsequently have moderate to severe tooth pain. The study treatment naproxen sodium suppresses inflammatory pain by reducing inflammation. In the US, naproxen has been marketed since 1976, and naproxen sodium has been approved for over-the-counter (OTC) use since 1994 for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains. Caffeine, which is generally consumed as coffee, tea, or cocoa, has been shown to enhance the effect of various painkillers, and therefore is accepted as an additive. The main purpose of this study is to learn how well a fixed-dose combination of naproxen sodium and caffeine relieves pain compared to each single ingredient as well as to placebo in participants after molar removal. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. To answer this, the researchers will compare the amount of pain decrease over 8 hours in participants who received a single dose of either: - 1 fixed-dose tablet of naproxen sodium/caffeine - 2 fixed-dose tablets of naproxen sodium/caffeine - naproxen sodium only - caffeine only - or placebo The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of the five treatment groups. They will take a single dose of two tablets by mouth within 4.5 hours after the surgery. If there is no pain relief within 2 hours after intake, other painkillers may be given.
The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of articaine in controlling self-reported pain compared with conventional lidocaine anesthesia in children requiring extraction of deciduous maxillary molars. Only one extraction will be performed on each child. At least two consultations will be necessary to carry out the present controlled, randomized, and blinded study. All participants will be treated by the same dentist. Self-reported pain will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale.
