Summary
This double-blind pilot study will evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of an
over-the-counter (OTC) regimen of naproxen sodium versus acetaminophen in patients receiving
one or two (adjacent) dental implants. It will also confirm that naproxen sodium in the OTC
dosage range is a good alternative to immediate-release opioid formulations, which are
subject to misuse, abuse and diversion in this patient population.
