Background: When it comes to reducing children's fear, anxiety, and discomfort during dental procedures, substantial local anesthetic delivery promotes adequate intervention. In the dental operatory, local anesthetic injections are the most anticipated or feared stimuli. The application of topical anesthetics, cryotherapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to the oral mucosa prior to local anesthetic injections can alter pain perception in children.

Article Synopsis
  • * A meta-analysis of 31 randomized clinical trials with 2470 participants showed that cryotherapy was significantly better than topical anesthesia in reducing injection pain for both adults and children, although its effectiveness in adults was not as strong.
  • * The findings suggest that using cryotherapy can be a promising option for managing injection pain in dental settings, especially for children; cooled topical anesthesia was also found to be more effective than that at room temperature.

Cryotherapy is widely utilized in medicine, particularly for pain management. This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the effect of intraoral cold pack application (cryotherapy) on postoperative pain (POP) and the level of Substance P (SP) in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP). Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to either cryotherapy or control group.

Introduction: There is a rising need for controlling postendodontic pain (PEP) without using analgesics and other conventional methods.

Aims: The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of various cryotherapy applications on controlling PEP in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis.

Methods: One hundred and eight patients were selected and preoperative pain and pain on percussion scores were recorded using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS), respectively.

Objective: Oral cryotherapy is used to prevent the onset of oral mucositis, a common and debilitating adverse effect following cancer chemotherapy. A protective mechanism associated with oral cooling is thought to be mediated through reduced tissue microcirculation. The aim of the present study was to examine the underlying mechanism associated with oral mucosal cooling by measuring oral microcirculation and tissue oxygen saturation after cooling with ice chips (IC) and an intraoral cooling device (ICD).
