Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Teeth are often cut by high-speed turbine engine which drill and friction also will irritate the dental nucleus and periapex directly and cause pain. Eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) was reported in dental caries treatment for pain released.OBJECTIVE: To observe the analgesia effect and influence on electra vital force of EMLA when used for dental caries preparation. DESIGN: Self matched-pairs control randomly observation.SETTING: Department of Dentistry, the Stomatological College, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty patients including 28 males and 22 females were selected from the Department of Dentistry, the Stomatological College, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January 2000 to January 2001. Their ages ranged from 18 to 55 years, and the mean age was 36 years. Inclusion criteria: ① Patients whose suffered from teeth only had a superficial hole and needed to be filled. The patients should have 2 teeth that need therapy at the same time and the 2 teeth should in different quadrant regions of the mouth; ② Patients without allergy history of local anesthetics; ③ Patients had signed in the informed consent; patients without cardiovascular diseases or dental ulcer. The experiment was in accordance with the ethics standards, and all patients provided the informed consent.METHODS: ① Grouping and intervention: Assigned to groups with self matched-pairs control method randomly by the side of coin to decide the experiment and teeth; the teeth for experiment were smeared with 2 g of EMLA (Astra AB, Sweden) on the surface of tooth and the bilateral periodontal mucous membrane with cotton bud, after 5 minutes smearing to treat the teeth. The control teeth were not smeared the EMLA to treat. ② Visual analogue scales (VAS) scores and electra vital force: The electra vital force (SYBLONENDO USA) of teeth was measured after 5 minutes, and the VAS score was recorded to evaluate the pain of teeth when incised and ground and compare it with that of control group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: VAS scores and electra vital force.RESULTS: Fifty patients were included in the final analysis. ① VAS scores: The average VAS scores of teeth during treatment after smeared with ELMA were 2.54±0.84. While that of teeth not smeared with EMLA was 7.42±0.51 (P < 0.01). ② Electra vital force: The average value of electra vital force before smeared with EMLA was 45.76±1.56 while that after smeared with EMLA was 64.34±2.28 (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:EMLA can improve the electra vital force of teeth and has analgesia effect during the dental caries treatment.
