| Summary: | Objective: To evaluate the prophylactic analgesic effect of paracetamol and ibuprofen administered before the extraction of
deciduous teeth in children. Materials and methods: Sixty children of 6 to 8 years of age were evaluated and attended the
Dental Center of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of San Martín de Porres, which were distributed in three groups,
each of 20 children: group paracetamol, ibuprofen group and the control group. In the first two, the corresponding drug was
administered orally 30 minutes before surgery (paracetamol 15 mg / kg or Ibuprofen 10 mg / kg). The following variables were
evaluated: presence of pain, time of presence of pain, intensity of pain, and time elapsed for rescue analgesia. Results:
Significant differences were found in the presence of pain variable and in the time of presence of pain among the 3 groups.
There was no significance between the variables studied between the two groups with drugs. Conclusions: Analgesic
prophylaxis is an effective alternative to conventional post-surgical pharmacological treatment. Ibuprofen and Paracetamol
are drugs with similar efficacy for this purpose, despite presenting different pharmacological action. |
