Patients experience pain and discomfort during active orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. Pain is considered a subjective response to noxious stimuli. It can vary from person to person and is influenced by certain factors such as age, gender, previous pain experiences, stress or anxiety, and type of appliance.
The objective of this literature review was to discuss conventional versus recently introduced treatment modalities used in pain management for orthodontic patients.
According to the reviewed articles, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods were introduced in orthodontic pain management. However, orthodontists must use their best professional judgment to assess each case individually and select an appropriate treatment modality based on pain threshold level of an individual.
Nevertheless, further investigations are required in this field.
患者在使用固定矫治器进行正畸治疗期间会经历疼痛和不适。疼痛被认为是对有害刺激的一种主观反应。它因人而异,并受某些因素影响,如年龄、性别、既往疼痛经历、压力或焦虑以及矫治器类型。
本综述的目的是讨论正畸患者疼痛管理中使用的传统治疗方法与最近引入的治疗方法。
根据所审查的文章,正畸疼痛管理中引入了药物和非药物方法。然而,正畸医生必须运用其最佳专业判断力对每个病例进行单独评估,并根据个体的疼痛阈值水平选择合适的治疗方法。
尽管如此,该领域仍需要进一步研究。
