Abstract
Introduction: The inflammatory conditions of pulp often lead to pain which is managed by adequate anesthesia. Achieving optimum anesthethic effect in such conditions is difficult; therefore, various supplemental techniques have been used to enhance the effect. Premedication is one such technique vastly studied. This study aimed to critically analyze the systematic reviews, including their respective meta-analyses, to summarize the data regarding the role of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the success of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in patients with irreversible pulpitis. Materials and Methods: The protocol was formulated using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist, and the formulated PICO question was “Is there any effect of oral premedication with NSAIDs on the anesthetic success of IANB in irreversible pulpitis?” The reviews were analyzed using a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews (AMSTAR). Results: Twelve reviews were selected, out of which three were finally included for detailed analysis and their AMSTAR scores were 'high.' Individual meta-analyses results pointed toward the anesthetic success of IANB with NSAIDs as oral premedication. Conclusion: The current overview justifies the use of NSAIDs by highlighting the supporting and conflicting data of each systematic review.
期刊介绍:
Vision SEJ aims to be one of the foremost worldwide periodical on Endodontics, dedicated to the promotion of research, post-graduate training and further education in Endodontics. Mission Statement To serve as a medium for continued Endodontic education and qualitative scientific publications on clinical trials, basic science related to the biological aspects of Endodontics, basic science related to Endodontic techniques as well as dental trauma that will ultimately improve the Endodontic research and patient’s health. Scope In this journal, Endodontists, Endodontic postgraduate students and general dentists, can learn about new concepts in root canal treatment and the latest advances in techniques and instrumentation that help them keep pace with rapid changes in this field. Aims and Objectives To publish cut edge peer-review original articles, case reports, letters to the editor, editorials, review articles, commentaries, and innovations that will impact on Endodontics. To enhance exchange of ideas/information relating to Endodontics and interaction among stakeholders. To encourage networking and partnership between individuals, government and non-governmental organizations for the provision of quality health care. To advocate for training, workshops, seminars, scientific manuscript writing conferences that will advance publishing culture.
