Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Healthy volunteers, any gender, older than 18 years, at least three sextants who require periodontal treatment, at least one tooth with clinical depth of probing >= 4mm.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Volunteers under periodontal maintenance, sensitivity or allergy to amide-based anesthetics, use of analgesic or anesthetic medication at least 12 hours prior to the procedure, previous history of alcoholism, pregnant or lactating women, uncontrolled severe systemic disease, acute local pathological alterations, dental extraction needs, dentin hypersensitivity and endodontic treatment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| During and after treatment of the gingiva, the pain intensity will be analyzed in relation to the periodontal procedure. Pain intensity during the gingival treatment through pain frequency, in which the volunteer will use a digital counter to record any painful sensation. At the end of the treatment, two scales will be applied for pain assessment (4-points verbal rate scale and 101-points numerical rate scale). Thus, we expected to verify if local anesthesia with no needles can contribute to the gingival treatment mainly of individuals who do not tolerate injecting dental anesthesia well.;The results showed that the pain intensity during periodontal instrumentation is low, with no differences between experimental groups with placebo in all parameters evaluated | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes were: arterial pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, volume of anesthetic gel applied, number of applications performed, need for injectable anesthesia, operative difficulties and postoperative discomfort.;For secondary variables such as arterial pressure and heart rate we expected an increase of these parameters in placebo group. Considering, oxygen saturation low levels will be expected for placebo group. The volume of anesthetic gel applied, number of applications performed and need for injectable anesthesia we expected higher numbers in placebo group. After statistical analysis, we did not find significant differences between groups. Only the placebo group presented greater operative difficulties than the other experimental groups (p <0.05). | — |
