( Kilkuts, A; Korberly, BH; Orkand, RK; Schreiber, GF; Segal, H, 1980)
"Nonopioid medications, specifically nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen alone or in combination with acetaminophen, are recommended for managing acute dental pain after 1 or more tooth extractions (that is, simple and surgical) and the temporary management of toothache in children (conditional recommendation, very low certainty)."5.41Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the pharmacologic management of acute dental pain in children: A report from the American Dental Association Science and Research Institute, the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and the Cen ( Aghaloo, T; Carrasco-Labra, A; Claytor, JW; Dawson, T; Dhar, V; Dionne, RA; Espinoza, L; Gordon, SM; Hersh, EV; Law, AS; Li, BS; Miroshnychenko, A; Moore, PA; Pahlke, S; Pilcher, L; Polk, DE; Schwartz, PJ; Shirey, M; Suda, KJ; Tampi, M; Turturro, MA; Urquhart, O; Wright, ML, 2023)

A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. ( Drum, M; Fowler, S; Fullmer, S; Reader, A, 2014)
"The purpose of this prospective, double-blind, randomized study was to evaluate pain reduction using an intraosseous injection of slow-releasing methylprednisolone in teeth with irreversible pulpitis."5.09Pain reduction in untreated irreversible pulpitis using an intraosseous injection of Depo-Medrol. ( Beck, M; Gallatin, E; Nist, R; Reader, A, 2000)

"Tramadol/APAP was superior to tramadol (P < 0."2.71A double-blind placebo-controlled comparison of tramadol/acetaminophen and tramadol in patients with postoperative dental pain. ( Fisher, A; Fricke, JR; Hewitt, DJ; Jordan, DM; Rosenthal, NR, 2004)
" To formulate regimens properly, it is essential to appreciate basic pharmacological principles and appropriate dosage strategies for each of the available analgesic classes."2.46Pain management: Part 1: Managing acute and postoperative dental pain. ( Becker, DE, 2010)
