Summary

This study will compare the analgesic efficacy of a single-dose of a novel ibuprofen formulation to placebo and acetaminophen in the treatment of post-surgical dental pain following "wisdom" tooth (third molar) removal.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Normal, healthy males and females 16 to 40 years of age
  • Outpatients who have moderate to severe post-operative pain (confirmed by a Visual Analog Scale-Pain Severity Rating [VAS-PSR] score of at least 50 mm on a 100 mm VAS PSR) following surgical extraction of two or more third molars, at least one of which must be a partial or complete bony mandibular impaction
  • Use of only the following pre-operative medication(s)/anesthetic(s): topical benzocaine, a short acting parenteral (local) anesthetic (mepivacaine or lidocaine) with or without vasoconstrictor and/or nitrous oxide

Exclusion Criteria

  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Alcohol or substance abuse
  • Any serious medical or psychiatric disorder
  • History of stomach ulcers, stomach bleed, or other bleeding disorders
