Abstract |
The use of a visual analogue scale to compare and assess the pain, comfort and efficacy of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) with 2% lignocaine during extraction is of interest. Hence, this study was conducted with 20 patients where 10 patients underwent extraction under transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and the other 10 patients with 2% lignocaine. Pain and anaesthetic assessment was performed. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is non-invasive and safe to use, making it far more effective in removing dental injection-related anxiety.
