The analgesic effect of EMLA anesthetic cream is evaluated during contact turbinoplasty with a Neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd: Yag) laser. A total of 48 patients were selected and randomized in two groups. EMLA was applied on the nasal mucosa, respectively, for 15 and 30 minutes after using vasoconstrictor cottonoids. Both groups underwent turbinate reduction by contact with Nd: Yag laser using three discharge incisions traced parallel on the medial surface of the lower turbinate working from the tail to the head. The pain induced by the surgical procedure was evaluated with a visual analogic scale. The score obtained was significantly lower in the 1st group than in the 2nd group and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.01). The EMLA anesthetic cream applied on the mucosa for 15 minutes allows to obtain a good analgesia during the functional contact turbinate surgery with a Nd: Yag laser and thus can be considered a valid alternative to anesthesia by local infiltration.
