Objective: The temperature of adjacent tissues during epilation has long been the subject of research. However, there is no literature on the heat that occurs in the teeth during laser epilation of the upper lip. This study measured the increase in the heat of the teeth during upper lip laser epilation. Material and Methods: The study included 51 patients. Three heat measurement sensors were placed on the labial surface of the anterior teeth. Before starting the procedure, the first measurement was taken, and the maximum values were recorded as °C. After the procedure, a visual analog scale (VAS) was applied. Paired samples t-tests and one-way ANOVA (p<0.05) test were applied for the statistical analysis. Results: A statistically significant difference was determined between the maximum and initial heat in the 3 sensors (S1F 36±1.7, S1Max 40.8±2.3, S2F 36.3±0.9, S2Max 40.3±1.8, S3F 36.3±0.9, S3Max 40.7±2.9). No statistically significant difference was determined between the 3 sensors in the distribution of the maximum and initial heat (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference was determined regarding the distribution of VAS values in the teeth and lips (p<0.001). The pain felt in the upper lip (6±2) was significantly greater than the pain felt in the teeth (5±2) (p<0.001). Conclusion: The increase in heat during upper lip laser epilation can be said to be safe for the dental pulp. The sensitivity and pain experienced during the procedure are due to the heat increase. The use of a white-coloured appliance is recommended during upper lip laser epilation.

Amaç: Epilasyon sırasında komşu dokularda oluşan ısı her zaman araştırma konusu olmuştur. Ancak üst dudağın lazer epilasyonu sırasında dişlerde oluşan ısı ilgili literatür bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışma, üst dudak lazer epilasyon sırasında dişlerde oluşan ısı artışını ölçmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 51 hasta dâhil edildi. Ön dişlerin labial yüzeyine 3 adet ısı ölçüm sensörü yerleştirildi. İşleme başlamadan önce ilk ölçüm yapılmış ve maksimum değerler °C olarak kaydedilmiştir. İşlem sonrasında görsel analog skala [visual analog scale (VAS)] uygulandı. İstatistiksel analiz için paired samples t-testi ve one-way ANOVA (p<0,05) testi uygulandı. Bulgular: Üç sensörde (S1F 36±1,7, S1Max 40,8±2,3, S2F 36,3±0,9, S2Max 40,3±1,8, S3F 36,3±0,9, S3Max 40,7±2,9) maksimum ve başlangıç ısılar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark belirlendi. Maksimum ve başlangıç ısıların dağılımında 3 sensör arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmedi (p>0,05). Dişlerde ve dudaklarda VAS değerlerinin dağılımına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptandı (p<0,001). Üst dudakta hissedilen ağrı (6±2) dişlerde hissedilen ağrıdan (5±2) anlamlı olarak fazlaydı (p<0,001). Sonuç: Üst dudak lazer epilasyonu sırasında ısı artışının diş pulpası için güvenli olduğu söylenebilir. İşlem sırasında yaşanan hassasiyet ve ağrı ısı artışından kaynaklanmaktadır. Üst dudak lazer epilasyon sırasında beyaz renkli aparey kullanılması önerilebilir.
