The effectiveness of electronic dental anesthesia (EDA) for pain control during restorative procedures was compared with local anesthesia (LA) in 108 pediatric patients aged 6-12. One tooth was treated with LA and another with EDA at the same appointment. The pain levels during restorative treatment were assessed using a color scale. Behavior also was assessed using sound, eye, and motor (SEM) scale. Although the success rate of EDA was less than that of LA, there was no significant difference between the two methods. On the other hand, 63% of the patients preferred EDA while 27.8% preferred LA. These results suggest that EDA is an effective nondrug pain control technique for amalgam restorations in primary and permanent molars for some patients.
在108名6至12岁的儿科患者中,比较了电子牙科麻醉(EDA)与局部麻醉(LA)在修复治疗过程中控制疼痛的效果。在同一次就诊时,一颗牙齿用LA治疗,另一颗用EDA治疗。使用颜色量表评估修复治疗期间的疼痛程度。还使用声音、眼睛和运动(SEM)量表评估行为。尽管EDA的成功率低于LA,但两种方法之间没有显著差异。另一方面,63%的患者更喜欢EDA,而27.8%的患者更喜欢LA。这些结果表明,对于一些患者,EDA是一种用于乳牙和恒牙磨牙汞合金修复的有效的非药物疼痛控制技术。
