A blind study was carried to assess the efficacy of 100 mg nimesulide and 500 mg dipyrone monohydrate used after dental extractions in order to establish a suitable and accurate analgesic choice after extractions.
The efficacy of nimesulide is
comparable to dipyrone monohydrate in alleviating pain in patients with lower
molar extractions.
A blind study was carried to
assess the efficacy of 100 mg nimesulide and 500 mg dipyrone monohydrate used
after dental extractions in order to establish a suitable and accurate
analgesic choice after extractions.
The study recruited 40
participants who underwent lower molar extraction. Participants were allocated
into cohorts undergoing treatment with and without ostectomy. Notably, 100 mg
nimesulide or 500 mg dipyrone monohydrate were prescribed to participants
randomly. Utilizing the visual analogue scale, the pain intensity after the
surgery was determined in the post-surgery period of 72 hours at 24-hour
intervals.
No statistical alteration was noted between the analgesics studied during the three days after surgery, taking into consideration the absence or presence of ostectomy as a modifier of the search. The pain-relieving effect of nimesulide was comparable to dipyrone, as shown below:
In patients with lower molar
extractions, both nimesulide and dipyrone monohydrate have a comparable
pain-relieving effect.
