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 DIAMOND study aims to investigate the presence and diagnostic relevance of potential biomarkers of the blood-nerve barrier disruption as surrogate markers of painful post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain in patients presenting with neuropathic odontalgia. The first part of the study explores the proof-of-concept and technical feasibility of intra-epithelial nerve fiber immunostaining in gingival/oral mucosa biopsies and the potential presence of these biomarkers in healthy patients (baseline condition).
the study is conducted to assess and compare the efficacy of local intraligamentary injection of glucocorticoids(dexamethasone) and NSAID(piroxicam) on reduction of postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
The aim of this study to assess effect of ketorolac premedication on the effectiveness of the inferior alveolar nerve block, pretreatment and postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
