It is of interest to assess two drug regimens for managing pain and swelling in 40 dental implant surgery patients. Visual analogue scale readings were taken at 24 hours, 72 hours and 1 week. Data shows that a combination of acetaminophen and aceclofenac with trypsin – chymotrypsin was found to be more effective than acetaminophen alone.
