Frequency specific micocurrent for treatment of dental indications

摘要

Protocols are provided for the use of frequency specific microcurrent in conjunction with dental or orthodontic procedures to treat or prevent inflammation induced complications. Specific protocols are disclosed for use in conjunction with gingival surgery and chronic periodontitis, implant/osseous periodontal surgery, general post operative trauma, pulpal trauma, pulpal inflammation, root canal post op, chronic osteonecrosis, osteonecrosis surgery post op, orthodontic pain prevention, and orthodontic mid-adjustment procedures.

主权项

1. A method to selectively administer electrical stimuli to a dental patient in conjunction with preventing or treating inflammation associated with performing oral surgery or other dental procedures or orthodontic procedures, comprising:
providing a source of variable frequency, variable amplitude, variable duration electrical signals programmable according to a predetermined protocol, wherein the predetermined protocol is administered to sequentially apply a plurality of electrical signals, each electrical signal having a frequency that is programmed in a range of 0.1 to 970 hertz, an amplitude that is programmed in a range of approximately 20 to 400 microamps, and a programmed duration, wherein at least two of the electrical signals have different frequencies, amplitudes, or durations; and providing a plurality of electrodes adapted to be located to connect the source to the patient, the plurality of electrodes comprising one or more electrodes adapted to be located within the oral cavity of the patient, such that the variable frequency, variable amplitude electrical signals are applied as electrical stimuli proximate to the mouth when the predetermined protocol is being administered.
