Introduction:

The use of analgesic therapies to control post-exodontia pain is very varied and depends on many factors. The study had two aims: to compare the analgesic effectiveness of paracetamol associated with lysine clonixinate and to compare it with monotherapies of paracetamol and ibuprofen in exodontias' postoperative treatment.

Materials and methods:

The sample consisted of 39 patients randomized into three groups. The postoperative pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), at 1h, 8h, and 24h after exodontia. Statistical analysis of the evolution of the three therapies was performed using Student's t-test, ANOVA and Tuckey's test, with a level of significance of p <0.05.

Results:

The values obtained showed that the analgesic combination of paracetamol associated with clonixinate of lysine was more effective at 1h and 8h. At 24h, there were no differences in the three study groups.

Conclusion:

The analgesia of the combined therapy of paracetamol associated with clonixinate of lysine is superior to that produced by the standard dose of ibuprofen and paracetamol in the treatment of post-operation pain of simple extractions.
