Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluation of the dose range of etoricoxib in an acute pain setting using the postoperative dental pain model.
This study was conducted to evaluate the dose range of etoricoxib in acute pain using the postoperative dental pain model further. ⋯ Etoricoxib (90 and 120 mg) showed similar efficacy in the postoperative dental pain model, which was noninferior to ibuprofen and superior to A/C. A higher number of tooth extractions or a higher mean impaction score may have led to a greater separation in efficacy between the 2 etoricoxib doses.
