The amount of active ingredient in tablet form of flurbiprofen is higher than that in the oral spray form. Therefore, based on the hypothesis that the side effects that may occur depending on the dose can be reduced, this clinical study investigated whether tablet and spray form flurbiprofen would have similar effects on postoperative pain in primarily closed soft tissue wounds in the oral region.
In line with the number of patients obtained after sample size calculation, the study was completed on 40 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Patients were healthy, volunteer individuals who required excision of the epulis fissuratum or frenulum with the indication of preprosthetic surgery. 2 groups were formed by simple randomization with 20 patients in the tablet group and 20 patients in the spray group. After the surgical procedure, tablet and spray flurbiprofen were prescribed according to the groups. Apart from these, paracetamol, chlorhexidine gluconate + benzidamine hydrochloride mouthwash were prescribed to all patients as rescue analgesics. The tissue fragments removed from the patients who underwent epulis excision were sent for histopathologic evaluation and confirmed.
