Separation and pain perception of Elastomeric, Kesling and Kansal separators

Abstract: Introduction: Various types of separators have been advocated, but the ideal separator should produce optimum separation with minimal pain and discomfort. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the amount of separation achieved by three different types of separators (Elastomeric, Kesling and Kansal), and to assess the associated pain and discomfort. Methods: A random single-blind split-mouth study was conducted on 108 patients seeking fixed orthodontic treatment, in which two dif… Show more

“…This study concludes that the larger the interdental space, the greater the pain at 24 h [53]. This differs from the present study, in which we obtained a negative correlation between space and pain, indicating that the larger the interproximal space, the less pain the patient experiences.…”

“…Separation methods should involve easy placement with little or no discomfort. Elastomeric separators are more efficient than other separators, but generate a higher level of pain (Qamruddin, 2016;Tripathi, 2019). Pain involved in the placement of separators affects functions such as chewing and the eating pattern and the discomfort may lead to a need for medication (Sousa, 2014;Marini, 2015;Tripathi, 2019).…”

“…Diversos estudos sugerem que a dor provocada pelos separadores elastoméricos se inicie quatro horas após a instalação e alcance o pico de forma gradual nas primeiras 24 horas. A redução da sensação dolorosa pode começar por volta das 72 horas após a instalação, quando se iniciam os processos de reparo tecidual, normalizando após cinco ou sete dias 1,3,5,6,20,22,23 .…”

“…Durante o tratamento ortodôntico, alguns pacientes podem experimentar diversas mecânicas de movimentação dentária que causam dor e desconforto. A sensação dolorosa tem sido frequentemente associada ao tratamento ortodôntico na visão de até 90% dos pacientes e pode ser entendida como a principal causa de desistências de tratamento 1,2 .…”
