Aims and Objectives: To comparatively evaluate, the effect of preoperative single dose, of paracetamol and ibuprofen on PIP, using two different rotary instruments.
Materials and Methods: 60 patients were randomly premedicated, with either paracetamol or ibuprofen and canal was instrumented, with either Hyflex or Protaper Gold files. PIP was evaluated at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hrs.
Results: Lower incidence and intensity of PIP, occurred in patients, premedicated with Ibuprofen and where canal was instrumented with Hyflex.
Conclusion: Use of Ibuprofen, as a premedication during endodontic treatment, with Hyflex rotary instruments, decreases PIP.
