Eficacia de la técnica Gow-Gates versus Troncular Directa cirugía de terceros molares Clínica Odontológica UCSG A-2017.

Abstract

Introduction: Pain management in lower third molar surgery can be managed with several anesthetic techniques; one of the most used is the Direct Conventional technique. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Gow-Gates technique versus the Direct Conventional technique in the extraction of lower third molars. Material and Methods: A comparative research study was carried out in a longitudinal, clinical and descriptive study. There were 327 patients who were seen at the UCSG Dental Clinic for the extraction of lower third molars. A survey of complexity was performed on the operator and variables such as sex, puncture pain, latency period, positive aspiration, time and Pin-Prick test were observed in the patient. The data was analyzed in Microsoft Excel 2010. Sample size formula, averages, standard deviation, frequency, Pearson correlation, p and Chi2 were calculated. Results: The Gow-Gates technique was the most complex to apply with 30.04%, while the Conventional Direct showed greater efficiency by the Pin-Prick test with a percentage of 90.79% and a p of significance <0.000. There is no variation in sex and the time of action is greater in the Gow-Gates technique. Discussion: The Direct Conventional technique was more effective at the time of its application because it fulfill with the required areas of anesthesia, while Gow-Gates showed less pain in its application and longer time of action.
