Evaluation of the effects of cotton roll-biting on debonding pain: a split-mouth study

Introduction: Debonding pain is an unpleasant sensation that frequently encountered during debonding procedure.
 Aim of the study: To investigate effectiveness cotton roll-biting on caused by Materials and methods: 102 patients (61 females, 41 males) who were at stage in orthodontic treatment included research. The study was planned using a split-mouth design: one side jaw study, other control. anxiety level participants measured before debonding. On side, performed while biting roll. control implemented as routine procedure. Study sides assigned differently each successive patient. tooth recorded Visual Analog Scale prepared separately for tooth. Shapiro–Wilk Mann–Whitney U tests used statistical analysis. For both gender groups, sequenced according to average amount per Subsequently, analysis repeated 50% suffering more pain.
 Results: In lower second premolar tooth, statistically significant difference detected. Pain scores higher this No differences found all teeth.
 Conclusions: Cotton has no alleviating effect pain. When gently squeezing action without applying torsional forces, additional relief methods are not required.
