Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Fear and anxiety are most common issue faced by clinician during treatment of paediatric patient. Dental environment and especially injections increases the level of fear and anxiety. Administration of local anesthesia remains a herculean task for dentist thus the need of an alternative method was felt. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare and assess the efficacy of electronic dental anaesthesia with 2% lignocaine in patients undergoing dental surgical procedure. Materials and Methods: 120 patients were included in the present study. Age group selected for the present study was children aged between 4 to 12 years. Patients were divided in to two groups. 60 patients in each group, group 1 received 2% lignocaine and group 2 received electronic dental anesthesia. Visual analogue and verbal pain scale was used. Results: In Visual Analogue Scale it was found that patients felt minimum pain in group 2 i.e. TENS (23.3%). In VPS 86.6% felt no pain in TENS group. Conclusion: TENS can be used as an alternative method for administration of local anesthesia. It is efficient in controlling pain and is comfortable for patients.
