The plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were evaluated at baseline and PI and GI were re-evaluated at 30-day follow-up. On postoperative 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, postoperative pain, discomfort, changes in patientsÂ’ dietary habits, burning sensation and postoperative swelling were analyzed by using a visual analog scale (VAS). At postoperative 7 days, the early wound healing index was assessed clinically. Results: The mean VAS scores exhibiting postoperative pain were significantly lower in flurbiprofen group compared to placebo group at days 1, 7 and 30 (p
