Official Title: Effect of Pre-operative Aceclofenac on the Anesthetic Efficacy of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in Patients With Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Controlled
Brief Summary: The aim of this randomized, double-blinded, controlled study is to evaluate the effect of pre-operative oral aceclofenac on the success of the inferior alveolar nerve block with 2% Mepivacaine containing 100,000 Epinephrine for patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
Detailed Summary:
- The aim of this randomized, double-blinded, controlled study is to evaluate the effect of pre-operative oral aceclofenac on the success of the inferior alveolar nerve block with 2% Mepivacaine containing 100,000 Epinephrine for patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
- Patients will be clinically and radiographically examined and their eligibility will be assessed and preoperative pain will be measured using Heft-Parker VAS. Eligible patients will be treated in one visit.
- Patients will be randomly assigned to one of 2 groups: experimental group (taking a 100 mg of Aceclofenac) and the control group (taking a placebo tablet). Each tablet will be taken one hour before starting treatment. After 15 minutes of the initial inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), the teeth will be examined using a cold pulp sensitivity test; in case of no or mild pain, the treatment will be initiated otherwise, additional IANB will be administered.
- During root canal treatment, no to mild pain response will be considered success. In case of failure, supplemental anesthesia will be administrated.
