The aim of this study was to evaluate the pain perception after orthodontics adjustment by visual analogue scale questionaires. Thus, were compared the analgesic effect of ibuprofen, acetaminophen, placebo and chewing gum. The initial hypothesis was that ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and chewing gum would be more effective than placebo in controlling orthodontic pain and that chewing gum could be an effective alternative to the use of ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the management of dental pain of orthodontic origin. Patients were randomly assigned to one of five groups: placebo, acetaminophen 500 milligrams, ibuprofen 400 mg, chewing gum and control. All subjects had brackets with slots .022 bonded to their teeth and banded molars in one of the arches. The placebo, ibuprofen and acetaminophen groups were instructed to take 1 capsule of the respective compound shortly after the insertion of the initial .014" nickel-titanium arch and every 6 hours for a week if the pain persisted, the chewing gum group was instructed to chew a stick of gum for 5 minutes immediately after insertion of the initial arch of nickel-titanium .014 dimension and every 6 hours for 5 minutes for a week if the pain persisted and the control group received no method of pain control. The subjects were instructed to mark the visual analogue scales in the first 24 hours, at 9am, 1pm, 5 pm and 9 pm their perception of spontaneous pain and pain during chewing. From the third to the twenty-first day the markings were made only at two times: 9:00 and 21:00. According to the descriptive statistics analysis, placebo was more effective than ibuprofen, acetaminophen and chewing gum in the control of orthodontic pain in both spontaneous pain and in pain during masticatory function. Chewing gum was as effective as acetaminophen in the control of spontaneous pain 24 hours after initial arch insertion. For pain relief during masticatory function, the chewing gum can be an alternative to ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the control of orthodontic pain.
