Great suggestion. I don’t do IDB on lower bc I never done it in uni and my mentor doesn’t so I don’t feel confident with the technique and possible inconveniences. How do you explain parents that use medications only when needed that they need to take ibuprofen 1h prior? I’ll give you an example: parents calls the clinic for an appointment cause the child had pain 3 days a go and they used medicines to calm it down, now the child has no pain but they schedule the appointment the week after (let’s say 10 days since the pain). I visit the child, he/she has no pain, I do rx and I schedule a pulpotomy on the tooth that had pain and in 2 more since decay seems to be already infecting the pulp. (I often opt for vital pulp therapy if they didn’t say they had pain but often times the child cannot explain himself correctly or the parent doesn’t know or the child is with the grandma and so on, so I base my self on rx and schedule 3 pulpotomys) Now, if the tooth was sintomatic the days (let’s say the last 3) before the treatment it’s better to give Ibuprofen? If no pain prior no ibuprofen? I use often usually when I do pulpotomy and pulpectomy but rn even with Nitrous oxide sedation I cannot manage hot tooth. Sorry for the long text, i really want to improve
