Efficacy of Lumiracoxib Versus Diclofenac Sodium in Pain Control Following Extraction of Impacted Lower Third Molar
The aim of this paper was to compare the efficacy of two different anti-inflammatory agents, Diclofenac (Deltaflogin®) and Lumiracoxib (Prexige®) in the control of postoperative pain that results from surgical removal of impacted lower third molars. Twenty adult patients from the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Division of the Araraquara Dentistry School, UNESP who presented bilateral impacted lower third molars were included in the study. Removal of the impacted teeth was performed in each side in different operative moments in a split mouth design for the study. The anti-inflammatory drugs evaluated were randomly administered on the first and second surgical procedures. The pain level was recorded using an analogical visual scale at 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgical intervention. Both lumiracoxib 400 mg and diclofenac 100 mg are efficient for acute pain control after surgical removal of impacted lower third molars. However, lumiracoxib offered better pain control.
