| Abstract | ||
| Background: pain during injection of local anesthesia is one of the most common reasons that makes the patient refrain from visiting the dentist. However topical anesthesia may be used as a solution. Aim of the study: to develop tools and materials to reduce pain by applying low level laser therapy and compare it with the effect of topical anesthesia. Methods: This study was carried out at Tikrit University's learning hospital. Group of 18 to 30 years old patients (55 men and 45 women) who would receive dental restorations of their anterior teeth. The patients were divided into 4 groups. Group A takes a laser beam. Group B received treatment by topical anesthetic gel. Group C received both of two therapies at same time. Group D is the control group which does not receive any type of pre-treatment. Analyzing data by using Mintab application program (version 2019) the test which is used in the analysis is a person chi-square under the level of significance 0.01 (P-Value <0.05). Results: In the current study, a (0,3W, 30sec) 940 nm diode laser used intraoral, according to our analytics after application of lowlevel laser therapy on the area of injection results in low response to the injection. Conclusion(s): The administration of local anesthesia using a 940 nm diode laser notably alleviated pain in the anterior maxillary area, demonstrating better outcomes than injections that did not incorporate low-level laser therapy. | ||
