| description | Introduction: Periodontal diagnosis and treatment plan rely on
an important aspect which is called as the periodontal probing.
However, probing has proven to be a painful procedure especially
in untreated chronic periodontitis patients. In an effort to reduce
the pain while probing various anaesthetic gels were used and
have shown better results.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pain
elicited during probing pocket depth estimation in a split mouth
using anaesthetic gel (Lox 2%) and Placebo.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a randomized,
placebo-controlled trial, double masked, split mouth study. It
was conducted by using a True Pressure Sensitive probe (TPS),
wherein probing was done in each quadrant having probing
pocket depth >5mm. Randomization was done for application of
anaesthetic gel and placebo within the pocket. After 30 seconds
of application with the test (Anaesthetic gel Lox 2%, NEON
LABORATORIES) and control (placebo) probing was performed.
Pain was assessed using visual analogue scale rating from 0 to
10 with ‘0’ as no pain and ‘10’ rating the worst pain. Statistical
analysis was done using Mann-Whitney test.
Results: The mean VAS score for the test group was 0.621±0.25
and the placebo group was 3.22±1.08. Significant difference in
the mean VAS scores was found between the test group and
the placebo group.
Conclusion: Administration of LOX 2% gel in periodontal
pockets prior to probing have shown a significant reduction in
pain while probing. |
