Preoperative Ketorolac and Aceclofenac for Control of Pain after Orthodontic Separator Placement – An Observational Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
The control of pain in different stages during orthodontic treatment is important for orthodontic practitioners and their patients. Following the application of separators, many patients experience pain till the next 24 hours. Usually orthodontists permit their patients to consume analgesics to get rid of the pain. This study compares the effects of pre-operative administration of Ketorol DT and Aceclofenac on pain relief following separator placement. Patients were segregated into 3 groups (Use of Placebo, Ketorol DT and Aceclofenac) and pain following separator placement was evaluated using Visual analogue scale.Patients prescribed with Ketorol DT exhibited less pain and discomfort compared with other groups.
