ABSTRACT

Introduction: The pain is the main symptom that patients refer after placing and activation of the orthodontic appliances.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the low power laser for pain relief in patients with orthodontics treatment.
Methods: A quasi-experiment study of therapeutic intervention was carried out in 30 patients that were in the beginnings of the distancing phase of the upper canine teeth (previous extraction of the same arch first premolars), who were assisted in the Orthodontics Service of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January to December, 2020. To such an effect, 2 groups were conformed at random, by arrival order, of 15 members each one: the study group that was treated with low power laser, and the control group that received paracetamol as usual analgesic. For the statistical validation of the information the percentage and the Student´s t test were used for independent samples, with 95% of confidence.
Results: There were significant differences as for the remission of pain intensity, because absence of this symptom or light pain was observed in all the members of the study group after three therapeutic sessions (p=0.00) while just 13.3 % of the control group patients was located in these two categories.
Conclusions: It was demonstrated that the alternative therapy with laser was more effective to palliate the pain than the paracetamol.
