Abstract

The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the previous offering technical and sensory information to perception and pain responses of patients undergoing third molar extraction. The study included 145 patients, aged 14 and 24, who needed extraction of at least one third molar. Patients were randomly divided into three groups (Control - CG, Technical - TG and Sensory - SG). The experimental design was divided into six phases: Pre-surgical, post-surgical I, II, III, IV and suture removal. In the Pre-Surgical was applied an initial interview with open and closed questions about health habits, surgical experience and use of medicines as well as the questionnaires, pain scales and presenting an informative video (for the experimental groups). In the post-surgical moments II III and IV was the application of the McGill Pain Questionnaire and VAS scale features, and the patient responded to the instruments at home. At the time of suture removal the assessment tools were collected and applied an assessment of the informative video. From the reviews and interviews have been identified changes that could be attributed to the presentation of prior information and hence variation in the perception of the patient's pain compared to CG. Both patients who received technical information, such as receiving sensory information reported lower pain scores throughout the postoperative period. However, even with low pain perception reported, all patients ate similar amounts of analgesics postoperative. Importantly, most of the experimental subjects reported the experience of receiving detailed information as positive (AU)
