Abstract
The analgesic effect of laser therapy was evaluated on a group of 60 patients, who had teeth prepared to receive porcelain-fused to gold crowns. Clinical observation was performed regarding remission of pain in relation to the number of visits and the duration of therapy in minutes. The results showed the success of laser therapy in alleviating pain originating from teeth irradiated immediately after preparation at the same visit was 93,3%. In cases of teeth covered with temporary crowns, the success rate was 100%, while in uncovered teeth it was 86.7%. Teeth received laser therapy in the next visit when pain existed was 70%. In case of teeth covered with temporary crowns success was 80%, while uncovered teeth was 60% . Laser therapy presents an additional therapy to conventional methods of covering teeth after preparation with temporary crowns to alleviate pain and preserve pulp vitality during the period of permanent fixed appliance construction.
