The influence of low-frequency variable magnetic fields in reducing pain experience after dental implant treatment

Abstract

the most intense pain was reported in the control group. The least intense pain appeared in the group with Z applicator. Patients using Z and IR applicators took analgesics less frequently and used much weaker analgesics than the control group. Pain perceived in the first group was between 0 and 2, while in the second group - between 2 and 3, and in the control group - between 3 and 5 in VAS scale. Magnetostimulation reduces patient's demand for analgesics after implantation procedures and yielded better effects in reduction of pain in comparison with magnetostimulation with LED therapy.
