title: [Effect of shape of the impulse used in stomatological electroanalgesia on reduction of toothache intensity].
abstract: A study was carried out on the effect of the shape of impulses used in electroanalgesia on the reduction of tothache sensation. The measurements were done in 46 subjects and it was observed that the relative increment of ocurrent voltage producing pain of tooth 13 was after 10 minutes of electroanalgesia with rectangular impulses: P1 = (142.2 +/- 6.8)%, sinusoidal impulses: P2 = (80.6 +/- 6.3)%, and serrate impulses: P3 = (51.0 +/- 4.6)% in relation to the voltage causing pain of the same tooth before electroanalgesia. The mean age of the studied patients: 23.8 +/- 0.3 years. The greatest effect was obtained using rectangular impulses.
