Effects of Simvastatin in the Prevention of Pain Experienced After Tooth Extraction

Islamic Azad University, Sanandaj40 enrolled

Overview

Atraumatic extraction of maxillary premolar teeth (on the Right, left side) was done; Subsequently, the patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: A group (Extraction + filled with a Simvastatin solution impregnated gelatin sponge) and B group (Extraction + without Simvastatin solution impregnated gelatin sponge), were placed in one of the sockets; the pain level is recorded according to the VAS scores at the intervals of before treatments, also Postoperative analog pain scores were assessed in 30 minutes, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours.

The method of procedure was performed by the same surgeon under local anesthesia (Lidocaine 2% with epinephrine 1:100,000, made by Darou Pakhsh Pharmaceutical Co; Tehran-Iran) to avoid bias. All two first premolars were extracted carefully, have used periotome as a means of atraumatic extraction that facilitated the removal of teeth with minimum damage to the surrounding alveolar bone, teeth to be extracted should have minimum periapical changes radiographically; with decreasing soft tissue reflection; the socket was tan gently irrigated with normal saline and hemostasis was achieved. It must be noted that A group (Extraction + Simvastatin filled with Simvastatin (Poursina Pharmaceutical Co. Tehran-Iran) solution impregnated gelatin sponge (Maquira Industry Dental Products S.A. Brazil) and B group (Extraction + without Simvastatin solution impregnated gelatin sponge), was placed in one of the sockets.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pain experienced by patients following the atraumatic tooth extraction, evaluated by using a visual analog pain scale within 24 hours.

The pain level is recorded according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) at the intervals of before treatments, also Postoperative analog pain scores were assessed in 30 minutes to 24 hours later.

Time frame: one day
