TENS is extremely useful in some dental procedures, such as TMJ syndrome and tooth extraction; however, its use is not practical in all situations. The dentist must remember that TENS is an adjunctive form of treatment. It is not a panacea for all types of pain, nor should it be used as a last resort. When applied correctly and with care, TENS is useful in the management of pain in the head and face.
经皮电刺激神经疗法(TENS)在一些牙科手术中非常有用,如颞下颌关节综合征和拔牙;然而,它并非在所有情况下都适用。牙医必须记住,TENS是一种辅助治疗形式。它不是治疗所有类型疼痛的万灵药,也不应作为最后的手段使用。当正确且谨慎地应用时,TENS在管理头面部疼痛方面是有用的。
