A pain control study of 600 dental procedures was undertaken during a 1-year period. The procedures varied from vigorous subgingival scaling to endodontic procedures. Most procedures involved the placement of two- and three-surface anterior and posterior restorations. Results were evaluated for pain control related to procedure type, patients' level of relaxation, sensitivity to pain, and patients' skepticism about the success of the reduction in pain during the procedure. Electrical analgesia with neurotransmitter modulator (TENS) was a valuable adjunctive tool for scaling, prophylaxis, and restorative procedures.
在为期一年的时间里，对600例牙科手术进行了疼痛控制研究。这些手术从强力龈下刮治到牙髓治疗不等。大多数手术包括放置双面和三面的前牙及后牙修复体。根据手术类型、患者的放松程度、对疼痛的敏感度以及患者对手术过程中疼痛减轻效果的怀疑程度对结果进行了评估。使用神经递质调节剂的电镇痛法（经皮神经电刺激）是刮治、预防和修复手术中一种有价值的辅助工具。
