- Abstract
Introduction Arnica is one of the most popular medications in homeopathy medicine. Arnica being clinical efficient and high tolerable makes it a potential therapeutic alternative target to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In this study we compared and evaluated the efficacy of Arnica as a substitute for analgesics such as Diclofenac Sodium, through which side effects of NSAIDS can be avoided and get the same analgesia effect through Arnica without any of the undesirable effects for minor surgical procedures. Objectives To evaluate analgesic Efficacy of Arnica Montana (AM) in Comparison with Diclofenac Sodium Following a frenectomy Procedure. Methodology Patients were included according to criteria and allotted randomly into two groups. Arnica group and Diclofenac Sodium group. Pain Assessment was done by visual analog scale on 4th day post operatively. Results Arnica Montana showed significant potential to decrease the pain experience following a frenectomy Procedure. Conclusion Arnica Montana seems to have a potential benefit following minor periodontal procedures. However, further studies needed for better evidence-based application.
