Brief summary: GlaxoSmithKline will be conducting this trial to compare analgesics efficacy of paracetamol 1000mg vs 500mg . The post-surgical dental pain model will be used to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of paracetamol. Each subject will be enrolled in the study for up to six weeks. The duration of the entire study will be approximately 16 weeks. Each subject will have to come to the clinic for three visits (Screening, Treatment and Follow up visits).


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects aged 18-45 years with moderate-to-severe dental pain assessed by verbal rating scale (VRS) and confirmed by a score of at least 50 mm out of 100 mm using a visual analogue scale (VAS) following surgical removal of third molars, of which at least one has to be a mandibular partially bony or full bony impaction.
