Evaluation of pain intensity and amount of edema in patients treated with immediate and conventional implants
Abstract
Background: Tooth loss is generally a common thing and a person can lose their teeth due to
trauma or disease. But today, with the use of dental implants, function and beauty can be returned
to the dental system. There is always some pain during surgery or after implant surgery. Patients
who visit the dental office must have concerns such as fear of pain, which can be related to implant
surgery. Considering that the implant procedure is rarely life-threatening, but its physical and
mental effects are what make patients avoid going to the dental office to restore the health and
function of their oral system. Therefore, due to the fact that the amount of pain during or after the
operation is an important factor in patients' decision-making, and the amount of edema and pain
play an important role in the success of implantation, so we intend to investigate the mentioned
cases in the study and the amount of edema and severity Compare the pain in two types of
immediate and regular implants.
Materials and methods: In this randomized, blinded clinical trial, 20 patients were divided into two
groups (10 patients in each group), in the first group, an immediate implant was placed after the
extraction of the anterior tooth, and in the second group, after the extraction of the tooth and
restoration of the extraction site, the implant was placed in the usual way. .)) were examined in
terms of pain intensity and edema level on the 1st, 3rd and 7th days.
Results: Independent T-test was used to compare the average types of edema and the amount of
pain on days 1, 3 and 7 between the two groups (between-group comparison). There was a
statistically significant difference in the mean (severity) of pain among the study groups in all three
intervals of pain measurement (1, 3 and 7) and the mean (severity) of pain in the Immediate method
was significantly higher than the Conventional group (05 p</0). Also, there was no significant
difference in the size (mean) of the types of edema in all the time intervals measured between the
two methods (p>0.05). Also, the pain scale and the size of edema on days 1, 3 and 7 were analyzed
using repeated measure ANOVA and in both groups it decreased with time and there was a
statistically significant difference within both groups with time. time was observed (p<0.05). It
should be noted that the significance level in all tests was considered less than 0.05.
Conclusion: The result of the present study shows that the amount of pain experienced after
immediate implant placement during the first week is more than the usual method of placement,
and it seems that the reason for that trauma is more due to implant placement immediately after
tooth extraction. Immediate drilling done and the implant is placed in the same place. Also, the
result of the present study shows that there is no special difference between the two types of
immediate and normal implants in terms of edema after surgery.
