Effectiveness of Pain Relief Methods During Orthodontic Debonding
Study Overview
This study examined how effective different methods are in reducing pain during the removal of orthodontic metal brackets. A total of 144 participants (50 males and 94 females) were divided into four groups:
- High-Frequency Vibration (V)
- Cotton Roll (CR)
- Elastomeric Wafer (EW)
- Open Mouth (OM)
Key Findings
Pain levels were measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The results showed:
- The High-Frequency Vibration (V) group experienced the least pain, indicating it was the most effective method.
- There was no significant difference in pain relief between the Cotton Roll (CR) and Elastomeric Wafer (EW) groups.
- Pain was most intense in the lower front teeth, suggesting these areas are more sensitive during debonding.
Practical Solutions and Value
Using high-frequency vibration can greatly enhance patient comfort during orthodontic procedures, especially in sensitive areas. This method can lead to better patient experiences and compliance with treatment.
