| Överskrift | Vibratory stimulation for the relief of pain of dental origin |
| Beskrivning | The present paper describes the effect of vibratory stimulation on pain of dental origin in 36 patients. The patients were from a clinic for dental surgery and all had suffered pain from pulpal inflammation, apoical periodontitis or postoperative pain following extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth for more than 2 days. Vibration at 100 Hz was applied to various points in the facial region or the skull. All the patients except three experienced an effective reduction of the intensity of the pain. In the patients who experienced pain reduction there was usually a best point at which vibration had a greater pain alleviativing effect than at other points. At some points the stimulation added to the pain. In 16 patients the stimulation caused a reduction in pain intensity of 75-100%; out of these 12 patients reported a complete relief of pain. |
