ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of paracetamol(500mg) and ketorolac(10mg) after dental extraction. Materials and Method Patient seeking dental extraction in Saveetha Dental College were included in this study. Each participant was given a brief explanation of the study, and informed consent was obtained from each participant before inclusion in the study. 20 patients were randomized into two treatment groups (each with 10 patients: group A received Paracetamol 500 mg and group B received Ketorolac 10 mg, orally. The durations of analgesia and pain intensity were recorded at the time interval of 10 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, and 6 hours. The pain intensity is recorded using the visual analog system (VAS). Results The duration of analgesia was longer in the Ketorolac group when compared with the Paracetamol group. Patients who received Ketorolac had lower pain intensity compared with patients who received Paracetamol. Conclusion Ketorolac 10 mg is more effective than paracetamol 500mg after dental extraction when used as analgesic.
