The Fundamental Differences in Dental Anesthesia Duration Amid Patients Depending on Their Long Term Camel Milk Consumption

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to analyze the effect of Camel Milk (CM) consumption on the efficacy of local anesthesia for dental procedures. The patients were required local anesthesia before a dental procedure. A pilot study with a total number of twenty patients was subdivided into groups of ten. The first, control group was comprised of ten medically fit patients who had not consumed CM in their lifetime, while the second group consumed CM routinely. For the procedure, dental extractions were done in both groups first without CM drinking. The second time, the control and experimental group participants were asked to drink CM before anesthesia procedure for extraction. Each group was tested for sensitivity to anesthesia twice: after drinking the milk and before milk consumption. Both the control and experimental group were given CM one hour before the local anesthesia. There was a significant correlation between drinking CM and lowering anesthesia duration in the experimental group. The consumption of CM affected the duration of local anesthesia in the experimental group diferently compared to the control group. CM causes variation in the duration of local anesthesia in dental procedures. It has been changed exactly the opposite when drinking milk before using analgesics in different groups: shortened in those who usually drink milk, and lengthened in those who do not drink it daily. Further long-term studies with a larger sample size are required to conclude the findings
