Summary

Rationale of study:

Separators placement is the primary step in orthodontic treatment and it is almost always accompanied by pain and discomfort which has a direct impact on the compliance and quality of life of patients. Many pharmacological methods over the past years have been recommended to ease the pain and discomfort and make orthodontic treatment more acceptable .These methods have adverse effects and hence it would be beneficial if we propose a method which will satisfy the patients and will be suitable for them to follow with minimal side effects and maximum efficacy.

Null hypothesis: lignocaine gel and chewing gum will be equally effective in reducing pain after separator placement Alternative hypothesis: lignocaine gel will be more effective than chewing gum in reducing pain after separator placement
