Decision Regret after Opting for Pain Control for Scaling and Root Planing

摘要

88 patients opted for anaesthesia, 73 (83%) of them for GEL and 15 (17%) for INJ.DRS values were noticeably low and comparable between the groups (p>.05).Overall, patients were satisfied with their choice (98%), reported no regret (94%), and would take the same decision for future treatments (96%). Additionally, they valued their choice as smart (97%) and not harmful (97%).These outcomes were consistent for the subgroups, showing no intragroup differences (p>.05).Distribution of anaesthesia choice was affected by treatment point (p=.000) and number of teeth treated (p=0.000). 80% choosing INJ underwent anti-infective therapy, 65% opting for GEL received retreatment during supportive therapy.Procedural pain during SRP was distributed equally between the groups (p>.05), with an overall mean of 20.5?23.0 and a range between 0 to 90. Future choice of pain control was not influenced by procedural pain (p=.155).
