Background: Pre-emptive analgesia improves patients' quality of life after treatment by reducing post-operative complications and a more rapid return to their daily activities. The current study aims to evaluate knowledge, awareness, and practice on using pre-emptive analgesia during surgical procedures among private dental practitioners in Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: This survey-based descriptive study was conducted among private dental practitioners working in Karachi, Pakistan. The questionnaire has been designed to assess knowledge, awareness, and practice regarding the usage of pre-emptive analgesia. Part one focused on the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, including age, gender, and level of experience. While Part two comprises ten multiple-choice questions regarding the knowledge, awareness, and practice of pre-emptive analgesia among private dental practitioners. The survey instrument was a self-administered questionnaire in the English language, and the questionnaire form was sent electronically to the study participants. Results: About 98(74.2%) of participants are aware of pre-emptive analgesia usage during surgical procedures, but only 78(59.1%) practitioners know the mechanism of action of pre-emptive analgesia. While. Diclofenac sodium 35(26.5%) is most commonly used by private dental practitioners as pre-emptive analgesia. Conclusion: The knowledge of oral pre-emptive analgesia was limited among dental practitioners. Most of them know that pre-emptive analgesics are used during oral surgical procedures, but many practitioners don't know their mechanism of action and method of administration.

Introduction: The most common complication following third molar surgery is pain. The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of lornoxicam as a preventive analgesic in patients undergoing surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. Materials and Methods: This study included 26 participants aged 18–28 years with bilateral symmetrical third molars. Group A, the control group, received lornoxicam 8 mg 1 h after surgery, whereas Group B, the study group, received lornoxicam 8 mg 1 h before surgery. All patients were evaluated for pain at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 12th post-operative hours. The number of rescue analgesics taken within 24 h of the procedure, as well as the first occurrence of pain postoperatively, was recorded and analysed. Results: Using the Mann–Whitney U-test and Friedman’s analysis, the resulting data were statistically analysed. When Group B was compared to Group A, there was a significant difference in pain reduction levels in the immediate post-operative hours. When compared to Group A, Group B had a lower need for rescue analgesics within the first 24 h postoperatively. Discussion: Following mandibular third molar surgery, pre-emptive use of lornoxicam is effective in reducing post-operative pain and reducing the need for rescue analgesic consumption.
