ABSTRACT
Background: orthodontic therapy causes different periods of pain that can not be treated conventionally because of the negative influence of analgesics in the dental movement; this motivates looking for other alternatives for the sedation of patients.Objective: to asses the analgesic action of auriculoacupuncture in the pain that appears after the installation of fixed orthodontic techniques.
Method: a short-term study of therapeutic intervention was conducted in the orthodontic department of the Previsora Teaching Stomatological Clinic from January, 2010 to January, 2011. The universe and sample were composed of 31 patients. The perception of immediate and mediate pain was determined by means of the analogical visual scale; the satisfaction state of every patient was specified and the possible adverse reactions were identified.
Results: more than the half of the sample expressed feeling a moderate pain immediately after the technique was installed; the third day of evolution almost all the patients did not presented pain. The whole sample was satisfied with the treatment.
Conclusions: the method resulted to be effective with a minimum of complications.
