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:
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.
