Brief summary
Purpose of this study was to evaluate different methods of controlling pain during debonding
Detailed description
Patients data was obtained from the Department of Orthodontics, Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi. One Hundred and ten patients were included in the study, which were divided into two groups, 55 patients in each group, based on method of controlling pain during debonding. To control pain during debonding in one group , teeth were stabilized with finger pressure with cotton between finger and teeth and then debonding using open mouth technique was done. In second group teeth were stabilized using a plastic wafer between maxillary and mandibular teeth and then debonding was done using closed mouth technique. In order to reduce biasness, all of the patients were debonded with same plier and with wires still ligated to brackets. With the help of VAS, pain score was measured after debonding. A single operator performed complete procedure of debonding and pain recording.
