Summary Eighty patients received one of three treatments after elective dental surgery involving multiple extractions. Group A received aspirin 600 mg, group B azapropazone 300 mg and group C azapropazone 600 mg. All drugs were administered in a double‐blind fashion. Quality of analgesia was unsatisfactory for all treatments; over 30% of patients required supplementary analgesia with an opioid. In addition there were a large number of withdrawals from the study. There were no significant differences in analgesic efficacy between groups.
