title: Double-blind evaluation of naproxen and ibuprofen in periodontal surgery.
abstract: A double-blind evaluation of the clinical effectiveness of a single dose of naproxen, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen was performed on 98 patients who had undergone periodontal surgery. A statistically significant difference was found when the effect of these medications was compared with that of a placebo, but no statistically significant difference was found among these three drugs. No side effects resulted from the use of these medications.
