Background: Individuals with tooth impaction are at risk of developing complications in the oral cavity. These cases are usually treated through an odontectomy procedure, which is performed by a dentist specializing in oral surgery together with other health professionals, such as dental and oral therapists. After surgery, pain is often present and can affect comfort in activities. Non-pharmacological pain management can be used as an alternative treatment to help the recovery process. Therefore, the development of non-pharmacological pain management models is an important innovation in oral health care services.

Objective: To produce a model of non-pharmacological pain management in oral health care for odontectomy.

Methods: The method uses research and development (R&D) with a Quasy Experimental Pretest and Posttest design Non-equivalent Control Group. Using normality test, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney. The technique of taking research subjects was purposive sampling consisting of 22 patients divided into 2 control and intervention groups.

Results: The results of the expert validation test of the oral health care model and the non-pharmacological pain management model are worth the p-value of 0.000 and 0.001. The results of the effectiveness test showed that it was feasible in increasing patient satisfaction (p-value 0.001) in the intervention group.

Conclusion: The non-pharmacological pain management model in dental and oral health care is feasible to be applied in dental and oral health care services for odontectomy patients and is effective in increasing patient satisfaction with odontectomy.
