The aim of this randomized clinical study was to assess the comparative efficacy of flurbiprofen in tablet and spray formulations for postoperative pain management in oral soft tissue wounds undergoing primary closure while investigating the feasibility of achieving optimal analgesia with reduced dosage and risk. Forty patients who underwent epulis fissuratum and frenulum excision for pre-prosthetic surgery were randomly assigned to receive either tablet or spray forms of flurbiprofen. The lesion dimensions were measured preoperatively, followed by excision and primary closure. The tablet group received oral tablets containing 100 mg of flurbiprofen twice daily, whereas the spray group received an oral spray containing 0.25% flurbiprofen, administered as two sprays thrice daily. Postoperative pain was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) until the 7th day. Lesion size, drug consumption, and rescue analgesic use were compared between the groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the lesion size between the groups. However, the mean NRS score in the spray group was significantly lower in the spray group compared to than that in the tablet group at 6th hour postoperatively (p = 0.037). Significant differences favoring the tablet group were observed in the first three doses of the drug (p = 0.001). No patients required rescue analgesics. The spray formulation of flurbiprofen demonstrated effective and safe pain relief in oral soft tissue wounds undergoing primary closure, with no reported adverse effects.

Background: Alveolar bone resorption may complicate dental implantation of the edentulous area. The quantity of residual bone depends on the region, and it is uncertain which region may present more difficulties before implantation. In this study, the alveolar bones of patients who had cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) before dental implantation were examined, and residual bone was evaluated based on age, gender, and the location of the missing tooth. Methods: In this observational study, the patients with CBCT were divided into two age groups: 18 to 35 and 36 and older. Also, the edentulous regions were divided into incisor, premolar, and molar regions. Radiographic measurements were performed with a cross-sectional aspect in the single-tooth deficiency regions of the patients; bone height and width measurements were made. Results: This study included 164 CBCT scans from individuals (99 females and 65 males). There was no statistically significant difference between the bone heights and between bone widths at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th mm according to age or gender (P > 0.05). Bone height in the incisor tooth region (ITR) and bone width at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th mm in the molar tooth region (MTR) were significantly larger (P < 0.01). Conclusion: This study revealed that the bone width at the 1st mm of the ITR was insufficient for dental implant placement and that horizontal bone augmentation was needed.
