Brief Summary:
Pain is the most claimed complaint from orthodontic treatment Fear of pain has contributed to patients avoidance of seeking orthodontic treatment affects patients compliance to treatment and even becomes the main reason for discontinuing orthodontic treatment For years orthodontic patients have reported using analgesics during orthodontic treatment to ease the pain However analgesics have many side effects such as allergic reactions bleeding disorders gastric ulcers liver toxicity and their potential influence in slowing down tooth movement This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of chewing gums in pain reduction in Malaysian multi-ethnic orthodontic patients and to explore the possibility of chewing gum to be recommended as a suitable substitute for analgesics in our future practice
Detailed Description:
Orthodontic treatment have been shown to cause varying degrees of discomforts and pain to the patients Fear of pain has contributed to patients avoidance of seeking orthodontic treatment affect patients compliance to the treatment and even become a main reason of discontinuing orthodontic treatment Patients have reported using of analgesic particularly NSAIDS and Paracetamol during orthodontic treatment to ease the pain However NSAIDS have been associated with various side effects such as allergic reactions bleeding disorders and gastric ulcers had raised the concern of orthodontists Studies on animals have shown that NSAIDS slower the rate of tooth movement hence affecting orthodontic treatment efficacy Paracetamol have been reported to cause liver toxicity in the case of over dosage
The action of chewing the gum can produce forces to temporary displace the teeth sufficiently to allow blood flow through compressed area preventing the build-up of metabolic products thus reduce the pain severity In addition non-sugared chewing gum has anti-caries effect which is very important to prevent caries formation during orthodontic treatment
