Abstract: Objective: To compare the clinical efficacies of naproxen sodium combined with codeine phosphate, losoprofen, and ibuprofen in the treatment of pain and edema following mandibular impacted wisdom tooth extraction. Methods: 90 healthy volunteers who asked impacted wisdom tooth extraction were randomly distributed into three groups. 1 hour before and 2 to 7 days after tooth extraction, patients were administrated separatly with naproxen sodium+codeine phosphate tablet, losuprofen, or ibuprofen. The postoperative pain, edema, and trismus were recorded and analyzed. Results: Naproxen sodium combined with codeine phosphate was found to be more effective for pain, edema, and trismus compared to losuprofen and ibuprofen (P<0.05). Losuprofen yielded similar clinical responses to ibuprofen (P>0.05). Conclusion: Naproxen sodium combined with codeine phosphate can be used as a better choice for the treatment of pain, edema, and trismus after mandibular impacted wisdom tooth extraction.
