Brief Summary   Pain management has been an integral part of dentistry, and pediatric dentistry in peculiar (Gazal 2007 ref 1) Pain endured after tooth extraction in children may cause anguish for both the child and their parents (Baygin 2011 ref 1). This can lead to increased fear, avoidance of future dental treatments, and other associated problems (Asley 2016 ref Carr 1999). Various techniques have been tried to lessen the pain following dental extraction in children, but none have been very efficacious (Gazal 2007 ref). In previous studies, analgesic use in children following extraction of their teeth was reported to be beneficial (Begin 2011 ref 3). Gazal G showed that the preoperative oral usage of analgesics had favorable post-extraction pain relief properties over a placebo (Gazal G 2007 ref). Howbeit, contentious reports have been found in the literature about the effectiveness of preoperative induced analgesics on allaying post-extraction pain in pediatric populations. Nevertheless, studies on the use of preoperative analgesics on alleviation of post-extraction pain in children are scarce. McGaw et al. demonstrated ibuprofen to be more effectual than paracetamol or placebo for postoperative pain in children undergoing permanent tooth extraction (McGaw et al.1987). Primosch et al. reported no significant decrease in post-extraction pain between children in placebo and paracetamol groups (Primosch et al. 1993). Primosch et al. also conducted a study of 60 children to evaluate the efficacy of the pre-operative administration of ibuprofen and paracetamol compared with placebo for pain relief after teeth extractions. They concluded that the pre-operative administration of neither analgesic is superior to placebo administration (Primosch et al. 1995). The management of pain is of particular importance in pediatric dentistry where patient perceptions of dental treatment are being established. However, to date, there is no evidence stating the need to prescribe analgesics for postoperative pain relief in children undergoing intra-alveolar extraction. 
The Aim of our study is to evaluate the usage of analgesic in children following primary tooth extraction.
