Preemptive analgesic effectiveness of oral ketorolac plus local tramadol afterimpacted mandibular third molar surgery

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare preemptive analgesia of oral ketorolac plus submucous localplacebo with oral ketorolac plus submucous local tramadol after impacted mandibular third molar surgery.Study design: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. Patients were randomizedinto two treatment groups (n = 15 per group) group A, oral ketorolac 10 mg, 30 minutes before surgeryplus submucous local placebo (1 mL saline solution); group B, oral ketorolac 10 mg, 30 minutes before surgeryplus submucous local tramadol (50 mg diluted in 1 mL saline solution). We evaluated the intensity of pain, timefor the first analgesic rescue medication, and total analgesic consumption.Results: Pain intensity, number of patients requiring analgesic rescue medication, number of patients in each groupnot requiring analgesic rescue medication, and total analgesic consumption showed statistical significance.Conclusions: Preemptive use of oral ketorolac plus submucous local tramadol is an alternative treatment for acutepain after surgical removal of an impacted mandibular third molar (AU)
