Piroxicam-beta-Cyclodextrin on Tooth Sensitivity Caused by In-office Bleaching
Tooth SensitivityToothacheObjectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of preemptive administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Piroxicam-beta-Cyclodextrin on risk and level of tooth sensitivity caused by in-office bleaching procedures using 35% hydrogen peroxide. Fifty patients will be selected for this triple-blind, randomized, cross-over, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Piroxicam-beta-Cyclodextrin (200 mg) or placebo will be administrated in a single-dose thirty minutes prior to bleaching procedure. The whitening treatment with 35% hydrogen peroxide will be carried out in two sessions with a 7-day interval. Tooth sensitivity will be assessed Immediately before bleaching agent removal and up to 24 hours after each session the procedure using analog visual and verbal scales. Color alteration will be assessed by a bleach guide scale 7 days after each session. Relative risk to sensitivity will be calculated and adjusted by session; while comparison of overall risk will performed by Fisher's exact test. Data on the sensitivity level for both scales and color shade will be subjected to the Mann-Whitney and Friedman tests, respectively (α = 0.05).
Comparison of Different Pain Rating Scales in Patients With Symptomatic Teeth
PainDental PainPatients with symptomatic teeth who applied endodontic clinic between April 2019 and December 2019 for root canal treatment were enrolled in this study. All patients were asked to fill four different rating scales: numerical rating scale, visual analogue scale, color analogue scale and faces rating scale for their relevant tooth which is symptomatic and need of root canal treatment. The four scales were then compared statistically.
A Study of ARRY-371797 in Subjects Undergoing Third Molar Extraction
Dental PainThis is a Phase 2 study designed to test the ability of investigational study drug ARRY-371797 to reduce pain either perioperatively or postoperatively in a third molar extraction pain model, and to further evaluate the drug's safety. Approximately 150 subjects from the US will be enrolled in this study.
Nonpharmacologic Reduction of Periprocedural Distress and Drug Use
Dental AnxietyDental Pain2 moreObjectives of this Phase I pilot trial are to provide data towards assessing and facilitating feasibility of a larger scale Phase II trial in which the effects of a calmative Comfort Talk® app can be unequivocally evaluated. Towards this goal we will pursue following outcome parameters for Phase I: Feasibility/acceptability assessment: Primary outcome parameter: • ability to obtain complete on-site data sets from at least 90% of patients enrolled (with at least 40% from patients in the app group and at least 40% from patients in the control group). Secondary outcome parameters: ability to enroll 60 patients by day 150 after initiation of recruitment in the clinic (=day 1) obtain 38 packages of filled out diary cards (at least 16 from patients in the app group and at least 16 from patients in the control group) 90% of patients in app group listen to app ≥5 min Phase II preparation primary outcome parameter • anxiety at the end of the waiting room time Secondary outcome parameters pain the end of the waiting room time anxiety during treatment pain during treatment anxiety during 1 week after treatment pain during 1 week after treatment use of units of sedatives and analgesics during 1 week after treatment (assessed by prescription at end of the visit) patient satisfaction
Efficiency Evaluation of Intradiploic Intra-osseus Anesthesia Versus Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block...
Dental PainManagement of dental pain emergencies is a challenge for the clinician, particularly when pain is due to endodontic infection. Tested hypothesis is intradiploic anesthesia is more effective and quicker than inferior alveolar nerve block for mandibular molars anesthesia. The aim of the study is the evaluation of Quicksleeper efficiency used in first intention versus inferior alveolar nerve block used in most current dental treatment.
Comparative Efficacy of 20% Benzocaine Versus TAC Alternate Gel
Dental PainPostoperative PainThe project is a study comparing the effectiveness of two topical anesthetics for control of pain associated with dental needle insertion in the palatal mucosa. A standard dental topical anesthetic (20% benzocaine) will serve as an "active" control and will be compared to a combination topical anesthetic, consisting of 20% lidocaine, 4% tetracaine and 2% phenylephrine (TAC Alternate Gel, Compounding Arts Pharmacy, Lafayette, LA).
Assessment and Treatment Patients With Atypical Facial Pain Trough Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic...
Atypical Facial Pain or Atypical OdontalgiaAtypical Facial Pain is a chronic condition and presents controversies during diagnostic and treatment, between specialist not have consensus about the pathophysiology. It is possible consider this entitie a potential neuropathic cause without pathological signs. It knows the repetitive transcranial magnetic presents good results in the treatment of chronic pain coditions. The aim this study is evaluated the thresholds and excitability cortical in patients with AFP and verify the patterns of improvement in pain for patients undergoing rTMS compared to controls, as well as the therapeutic response to neuromodulation procedures. This enroll 20 patients with DAF and 20 controls treated with rTMS (5 sessions) and evaluated through questionnaires (EDOF clinical record, McGill Pain Questionnaire, Visual Analogue Scale, Inventory of symptoms of neuropathic pain, neuropathic pain DN4 questionnaire, SF -36, brief pain inventory). At the end of the data will be statistically analyzed and expressed as mean and standard deviation, and analyzed by Student's t test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey-Kramer and Pearson correlation. The level of significance is 5%. The results will be published in journals indexed in the area both nationally and internationally and presented at conferences and scientific meetings.
Pain Perception: on Relationships Between Dental Anxiety and Olfaction

Local Anesthesia and Analgesics in Endodontic Pain
OdontalgiaFor patients with a toothache, is pain relief after root canal procedure improved using long acting local anesthetic and analgesics? The purpose of this clinical trial is the investigate the effect of long acting local anesthetic with 1 of 4 oral medication groups, on post-operative endodontic pain.
Clinical Study of Laser Analgesia in Cavity Preparations Using the Er,Cr:YSGG Laser
Tooth PainNot much has been done in research to explain the clinical benefit of laser cavity preparation without the use of injection anesthetic. The Author of this study sought to show the science behind the "no shot, no pain" in restorative dentistry using an Er,Cr:YSGG laser Patients with two similar size lesions of class I or class V cavities selected as subjects. In the same appointment, both cavities are prepared by the Er,Cr:YSGG. One lesion was prepared with one high power laser setting to ablate the enamel, dentin, and caries. The other lesion was prepared with a low power setting to start and is aimed at applying low level laser therapy (LLLT) before using the high power setting to ablate enamel, dentin, and caries. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used for the patient to analyze how comfortable each laser technique was. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used.
