Background: Evaluate the efficacy of using combination drug treatment to relieve post extraction pain of impacted mandibular third molar by using Naproxen plus Gabapentin versus Naproxen alone. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of using combination drug treatment to relieve post extraction pain of impacted mandibular third molar by using Naproxen plus Gabapentin versus Naproxen alone. Methods: Randomized control study, outcome was evaluated by measuring Pre – Operative and 24-Hour Post – Operative Pain status on Visual Analogue Scale and Wong Baker’s Face Pain Rating Scale. Results: Combination therapy (Naproxen and Gabapentin) was effective in significant pain reduction at 12 Hour and 24-Hour Post Extraction period. With 26 patients out 31 presented with Pain Scale of 0 on combination therapy while only 3 out of 31 for naproxen alone after 24 hours. Conclusion: Enhanced effect of combination therapy of naproxen with gabapentin in reducing post extraction pain of impacted mandibular third molar with respect to naproxen alone.
