Summary
* Accessing the efficacy and safety of pregabalin when used alone and in combo with acetaminophen in a dental pain model.
* To test whether pre-operative dose of pregabalin increases the time to significant post-operative pain (NRS ≥ 5), and hence time to first analgesia consumed post-operatively.
