A dental implant management system / method that improves communication and coordination between parties associated with dental implant procedures is disclosed. The system / method operates to permit each dental implant professional (DIP) (typically a surgeon, restorative doctor, and dental laboratory) to iteratively generate a patient treatment execution plan (TEP) for the dental implant procedure that is generally structured within execution treatment phases (ETP) and automatically coordinated among each DIP. The ETP typically defines FOUNDATION, IMPLANT PLACEMENT, RESTORATIVE, and MAINTENANCE phases that may each incorporate custom execution phase checklists (EPC) that permit each DIP to ensure that critical elements of their TEP are properly executed. Coordination of the various DIP-generated TEPs is integrated with treatment planning / sequencing, patient scheduling, DIP fee estimation, and dental parts procurement to ensure maximum revenue to each DIP while simultaneously improving the probability of a successful dental implant procedure for the patient.

The present invention is a method of achieving fast onset of pain relief for acute pain in a patient in need thereof comprising orally administering a unitary formulation (or oral dosage form) containing an effective analgesic amount of (a) oxycodone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and (b) ibuprofen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Preferably, the unitary formulation contains (a) oxycodone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and (b) ibuprofen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a weight ratio of from about 1:20 to about 1:100 and more preferably about 1:40 to about 1:80, based on the weights of molar equivalents of oxycodone hydrochloride and ibuprofen, respectively. Preferably, an amount of oxycodone and ibuprofen effective to provide partial or complete pain relief within 30 minutes is administered. More preferably, the amount is sufficient to provide partial or complete pain relief within 25 minutes. It has been discovered that administration of an oral dosage form containing both oxycodone and ibuprofen provides earlier onset of pain relief than administration of either active ingredient alone. Moreover, the earlier onset of pain relief may be attributable at least in part to administration of a single dosage form containing both active ingredients as opposed to administering oxycodone and ibuprofen in separate oral dosage forms (i.e., administration of a first dosage form containing oxycodone and a second dosage form containing ibuprofen). The method of the present invention is particularly useful for treating acute postoperative pain, including, but not limited to, moderate and / or severe acute postoperative pain (such as that resulting from dental surgery).
