Voltaren as an analgesic after surgical removal of a lower wisdom tooth.

In a controlled trial, before having a lower wisdom tooth surgically removed, 190 patients were blindly randomized to 2 parallel groups. One group received 100 mg Voltaren (diclofenac-sodium) before surgery and then 50 mg 3 times a day for 5 days; the other group in Sweden widely used fixed combination tablets (acetylsalicylic acid 500 mg, caffeine 50 mg, aprobarbital 20 mg, codeine phosphate 10 mg) in the highest recommended dose, 2 tablets when needed at most 3 times a day. Twice a day the patients recorded pain and swelling on 100 mm visual analogue scales. Patients treated with Voltaren had significantly less pain and swelling (p less than 0.001). Furthermore, they had significantly fewer days away from work (p less than 0.01). The study indicates that visual analogue scales may also be useful in assessment of swelling and that Voltaren in a fixed dosage offers a promising alternative against postoperative pain and swelling.

Periapical surgery.

A retrospective study of 572 teeth treated with periapical surgery was undertaken in order to evaluate the influence of preoperative, operative and postoperative factors in the healing process as well as the operation method used. It was also the aim to assess whether the histophatological diagnosis of biopsies taken at the operation could be correlated to healing. Statistical analyses by the AID method and conventional cross-classification methods were performed. Factors of importance were found to be the extent of the destrucion, the operation method used, the bone surrounding the destruction, the quality of the orthograde root filling, the age of the patient, and the marginal bone buccally. The operation method was of importance in large destructions where root fillings were considered as not having properly sealed the canals, and when treating inflamed cysts. The histopathological diagnosis could not be ascribed any definite prognostic value.

Analgesic efficacy and safety of Fenbufen following surgical removal of a lower wisdom tooth: a comparison with acetylsalicylic acid and placebo.

In a double-blind clinical trial a new, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic properties, Fenbufen, was compared to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and placebo. Six hundred (600) out-patients, following surgical removal of an impacted lower wisdom tooth, were divided into three groups and randomly given either Fenbufen (500 mg capsules), ASA (750 mg capsules), or placebo. One capsule was taken immediately after the surgical procedure, followed by another capsule every 6 hours. The duration of treatment was 24 hours. Thus, a total of 4 capsules were taken. Self-evaluation forms were provided to the patients and were returned to the investigators the following day. The results were statistically analyzed. Both Fenbufen and ASA were statistically superior (p less than or equal to 0.01) to placebo in relieving pain. A comparison of the Fenbufen and ASA groups demonstrated a statistically significant (p less than or equal to 0.05) superiority for Fenbufen in relieving pain. Also sleep was less disturbed in the Fenbufen group. Side-effects reported were few, minor in character, and fewer in number in the Fenbufen group.
