초록

Background: Achieving successful pain control and adequate anesthesia through an inferior alveolar nerve block for endodontic treatment in cases with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) is difficult, especially in mandibular molars. This study was designed to compare the effect of oral medication with ibuprofen and soft laser therapy on inferior alveolar nerve block during endodontic treatment. Methods: The trial comprised 180 patients (45 each group) with SIP. Four groups of patients were created: group 1 received 400 mg of ibuprofen; group 2 received soft laser irradiation; group 3 received a combination of soft laser and ibuprofen 400 mg; and group 4 received a placebo 1 h prior to local anesthesia. Patients recorded their pain scores on the Heft-Parker visual analog scale (VAS) before the start of intervention, 15 min after anesthesia, during access cavity preparation, and ultimately during root canal instrumentation. Each patient also rated their level of discomfort on a VAS. Every stage with no or minimal discomfort was deemed successful. The chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, and one-way analysis of variance tests were used to evaluate the data. Results: The best success rate was achieved for soft laser ibuprofen combination, ibuprofen and soft laser groups reported similar success results, and control group recorded the least pain scores. The mean pain scores were lowest for group 3 and highest for group 4 (P < 0.001). Ibuprofen and soft laser combination was significantly better than control group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between ibuprofen and laser groups (P = 0.24). Conclusions: For teeth with irreversible pulpitis, preoperative ibuprofen treatment combined with soft laser irradiation greatly improved the success rates of inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia.
