Resumen
ABREU CORREA, Juana María y MATEO, Juan Emilio. Analgesia acupuntural en las extracciones dentarias. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 1997, vol.34, n.2, pp.110-110. ISSN 0034-7507.
The results of exodontia with anesthesia and with acupuncture analgesia are compared in two groups of 60 patients each, in which the effects of both treatments were evaluated 24, 48 and 72 hours after the extraction. The aspects evaluated were the postextraction complications and the presence of pain, disturbance or inflammation after it. In the group of patients that received anesthesia, 51 had inflammation 24 hours after the extraction, whereas 31 still had a mild redness and inflammation 72 hours later. 3 patients presented fungous alveolitis. Among those who were treated with acupuncture, 26 showed a mild redness 24 hours after the extraction that dissapeared before the 72 hours without other complications.
