Comparison of oral versus sublingual piroxicam during postoperative pain management after lower third molar extraction

Abstract: In this study, 53 patients received piroxicam, administered orally or sublingually, after undergoing removal of symmetrically positioned lower third molars, during two separate appointments. This study used a randomized, blind, cross-over protocol. Objective and subjective parameters were recorded for comparison of postoperative results for 7 days after surgery. Patients treated with oral or sublingual piroxicam reported low postoperative pain scores. The patients who received piroxicam orally took a similar a… Show more

“…That is, a single 20 mg dose of piroxicam can be taken orally only once a day to effectively manage pain, inflammation and swelling resulting from third molar extraction. 4,5,6 Moreover, piroxicam is metabolized by CYP2C9, a cytochrome P450 enzyme, creating 5'-hydroxypiroxicam by hydrolysis. This study's objective was to evaluate different concentrations of piroxicam and its major metabolite, 5'-hydroxypiroxicam, in human plasma samples over time using HPLC after liquid-liquid extraction.…”

“…1,2,3 Piroxicam, in particular, is a commonly used NSAID which inhibits prostaglandin production, often employed to manage pain, swelling and trismus after oral surgeries. 4,5,6 Cytochrome P4502C9 (CYP2C9) is the main enzyme involved with metabolizing piroxicam to 5'-hydroxypiroxicam. Moreover, urinary excretion of unmetabolized piroxicam is rare.…”

“…This route avoids the first-pass metabolism in the liver and also the drug gets absorbed by the veins in the floor of the mouth, leading directly to superior vena cava, leading to the faster distribution of the drug. 10 However, conflicting to our view, Trindade et al 11 compared the oral vs sublingual piroxicam in the postoperative pain management after lower third molar extraction and found no significant difference in between the two routes of drug administration in terms of pain management.…”
