Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to clinically compare post-operative pain levels after administration of preoperative single dose of sodium ibuprofen versus placebo for patient with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis related to mandibular molar teeth.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Oral pharmacologic agents have been the primary option, and the use of drugs has increased exponentially. Many pharmacological agents have been used to manage endodontic pain, including Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs),.administration of NSAIDs before root canal treatment will reduce inflammatory process before it begins. NSAIDs are widely used to control post endodontic pain They act by blocking the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX 1 and 2) enzyme. In human dental pulps with irreversible pulpitis, a higher level of expression of COX 2.In cases of irreversible pulpitis NSAIDS can be administered preoperatively since they reduce the level of prostaglandinE2(PGE2) which is responsible for sensitization of nociceptors. Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly used NSAIDs and a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis that can manage various pain types and has anti-inflammatory activity. Enhancements in ibuprofen acid's pharmacokinetics have led to the development of ibuprofen salts with a faster dissolution rate and onset of action. These ibuprofen salts.Fast acting ibuprofen like Sodium ibuprofen delivers maximum plasma drug concentrations at about 30-40 min, compared with around 90-120 min for standard ibuprofen acid formulations
