In that case you can implement it in a hook like this:

<?php
function mymodule_init() {
    global $custom_theme;
    if (arg(0) == 'node' && arg(2) == 'edit') {
        $custom_theme = variable_get('theme_default', '0');
        init_theme();
    }
}
?>

In this example we switch the theme to the default theme on a node edit page.

        init_theme();
    }
}
?>

Thanks.
