• The results of a study published in Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1999 May;125(5)"567-72 by Lao et al entitled "Evaluation of acupuncture for pain control after oral surgery: a placebo-controlled trial" concluded that acupuncture is superior to the placebo in preventing postoperative dental pain; noninsertion placebo procedure is valid as a control.
• The results of a study published in Br Dent J 1998 May 9;184(9):443-7 by Ernst and Pittler entitled "The effectiveness of acupuncture in treating acute dental pain: a systematic review" concluded that acupuncture can alleviate dental pain and that future investigations should define the optimal acupuncture technique and its relative efficacy compared with conventional methods of analgesia.
