Summary
Pain during teeth whitening can be managed by tailoring Ketorol Express (ketorolac tromethamine) dosage to patient anxiety levels. This approach effectively reduces discomfort for individuals with varying psychological states.
Area of Science:
- Dental Aesthetics
- Pain Management
- Psychology
Context:
- Office teeth whitening procedures can induce pain.
- Patient anxiety levels (situational and personal) influence pain perception.
- Individualized pain management strategies are crucial for patient comfort.
Purpose:
- To develop an algorithm for pain syndrome correction during teeth whitening.
- To investigate the efficacy of Ketorol Express based on patient anxiety levels.
- To optimize analgesic administration for dental procedures.
Summary:
- Sixty patients undergoing teeth whitening were categorized into high, average, and low anxiety groups.
- Ketorol Express administration timing was adjusted based on anxiety levels: pre-emptive for high, post-procedure for average, and as-needed for low.
- Pain severity and patient well-being were assessed using visual analogue scales.
Impact:
- The study demonstrates that pain occurrence and management during teeth whitening are significantly influenced by a patient's psycho-emotional state.
- The proposed regimen for Ketorol Express administration effectively reduces pain across different anxiety levels.
- This individualized approach enhances patient experience and satisfaction during cosmetic dental procedures.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

01:12Local Anesthetics: Adverse Effects
465
While local anesthetics are generally safe and well-tolerated, they can occasionally cause adverse effects that vary in severity. Local anesthetics can induce toxicity at two distinct levels. They can either produce local effects through direct contact with the neural elements or be absorbed into the bloodstream from the injection site, leading to systemic effects.
Once absorbed into the systemic circulation, local anesthetics can affect the organs that depend on the functioning of sodium...

01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
686
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
