Influence of Genotype of CYP2C9 on Clinical Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Piroxicam After Lower Third Molar Surgery

After extraction of at least one third molar, 100 patients will be treated with Piroxicam (20 mg once daily for 4 days) for pain control, collect the saliva to be genotyped and phenotyped for CYP2C9 (by PCR) and their post-operative notes (pain, swelling, trismus, temperature) will be analyzed. For the pharmacokinetics of piroxicam saliva samples will be collected from 10 of these patients at different times after ingestion of a capsule of 20 mg Piroxicam (before, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 24, 48 and 72 hours after ingestion).
