RESUMO
THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to evaluate the use of Ketorol Express as a preventive analgesia to increase the effectiveness of local anesthesia in providing emergency dental care to patients with arterial hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted on the basis of the state autonomous healthcare institution of the Moscow region «Royal Dental Clinic¼ with the participation of 83 people. The patients were divided into two groups. In group 1, Ketorol Express was prescribed as a preventive analgesia in a dosage of 20 mg before local anesthesia. Patients of group 2 underwent dental interventions without the use of preventive analgesia. A 3% solution of mepivacaine was used as a local analgesic solution. For a subjective assessment of the effectiveness of anesthesia, use a visual analog scale. All patients had their blood pressure and heart rate measured before and after the interventions and hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored during emergency dental care. RESULTS: In group 1, the effectiveness of combined anesthesia with the infiltration method of local anesthetic administration was 93±1.17%, according to the patient, 94±1.47%, according to the doctor, with the conductive method of anesthesia at the mandibular orifice - according to the patient it was 91±1.01%, according to the doctor 92± 1.36%. In group 2, when providing emergency dental care with the infiltration method of administration of 3% mepivacaine the anesthesia was effective in 80±1.97% of cases according to the patient and in 80±1.17% of cases according to the doctor, with the conductive method of anesthesia at the mandibular orifice, the effectiveness of anesthesia according to the patient was 82±1.11%, according to the doctor 85±1.23%. CONCLUSION: The results of the study demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the effectiveness of local anesthesia performed with a 3% solution of mepivacaine in patients with arterial hypertension due to the use of preventive analgesia with Ketorol Express at a dosage of 20 mg (2 tablets of 10 mg) in emergency dental care with registration and analysis of changes in hemodynamic parameters.
