Placebos in dentistry: their profound potential effects



FM Beck

The placebo effect may influence the treatment of patients with postextraction pain, localized osteitis, and myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome, to name a few. The patient, the doctor, and the situation all influence the placebo effect. This phenomenon is still not understood, and further research is needed. The practitioner should learn to utilize the placebo effect for its potential benefits.
