  Introduction: The aim of this article is to analyze the amount of pain during 4 days treatment with Chlorine dioxide in patients with oral inflammation (pericoronitis and acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis). Methods: A visual analogue scale for pain (EVA scale) during a period of 4 days of treatment with Chlorine dioxide was given to patients. The scale used for this study measures from 0-10 the intensity of the pain with a series of "faces" that show the intensity in the pain experimentation. Results and Discussion: A total of 172 patients were analyzed, 101 males and 71 females, aged between 14 and 28 years (mean 19 years). Patients were divided in 2 groups according to the pathology. The first group with 140 patients presented wisdom pericoronitis and were divided in 2 subgroups of 83 males and 57.. Read More»
