Ibuprofen ( Brufen ) as an analgesic after oral surgery - a clinical trial

Abstract

Pain, swelling and trismus are common features after oral surgery, particularly after the surgical removal of impacted third molar teeth. The Maxillo-Facial and Oral Surgeon has a vast array of drugs at his disposal to combat post-operative pain, but none of these are perfect in terms of efficacy and side effects. Recently, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been receiving much attention as post-operative analgesics.
