Summary

This study aims to evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms on the effectiveness of preoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in managing postoperative pain following endodontic treatment. Participants will receive standard preoperative NSAIDs before undergoing root canal therapy, and their pain responses will be assessed. Genetic analysis will be performed to investigate possible associations between drug response and individual gene variations. The study seeks to improve personalized approaches in endodontic pain management.

Conditions

• Postoperative Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Ibuprofen 600 mg	A single oral dose of 600 mg ibuprofen will be administered prior to the endodontic procedure to evaluate its preemptive analgesic effect on postoperative dental pain.
DRUG	diclofenac sodium	A single oral dose of 100 mg diclofenac sodium will be administered to participants in the Diclofenac Sodium Group prior to the endodontic procedure. This intervention is designed to assess the preemptive analgesic efficacy of diclofenac sodium in the control of postoperative dental pain.
DRUG	Placebo	A single oral dose of a placebo tablet, identical in appearance to the active drugs, will be administered to participants in the Placebo Group prior to the endodontic procedure. This group serves as the control to evaluate the true analgesic efficacy of the active interventions.
