Clinical Relevance
This study suggests that the described anesthetic gel can be effective in significantly
reducing patient discomfort during the displacement of the gingival tissue.
SUMMARY
Introduction: Gingival tissue displacement can
be an uncomfortable procedure, often performed without injectable local anesthesia.
The present study evaluated the efficacy of
an anesthetic gel in reducing pain during this
procedure.
Material and Methods: Thirty patients undergoing definitive dental impression, for fabricating full-coverage restorations, were
evaluated for pain perception on displacement
of the surrounding gingival tissues. All the
participants were randomly divided into two
groups. Five minutes before the insertion of
the displacement cord, the anesthetic gel, a
mixture of 5% lidocaine and 5% prilocaine, was
applied in the sulcus of test group patients.
