Abstract
This experimental study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate(Aloclair$^{TM}$) in decreasing pain in orthodontic procedures. A total of 60 patients who were use Aloclair$^{TM}$ ordered to were included. These patients were categorized by 3 cases; 1. Patients who were bonded with their first brackets. 2. Patients who were in pain with additional appliance such as anchorage devices. 3. Patients who got ulcer caused by appliances. We collected information about pain and assessed it using visual analogue scale. According to questionnaire, it took 3.5 min. for pain to subside and pair relief durated for 2.7 hours. Most patients in the study reported rapid pain relief and found Aloclair$^{TM}$ easy and pleasant to use than wax. Accordingly Aloclair$^{TM}$ provided raid relief of resting and provoked ulcer pain.
