Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of experience of dental sedation at assessment on children's anxiety before the actual treatment session.
The study was conducted among a group of dental patients aged (6-8 years old) of both genders to assess the following variables in the needleless interparliamentary anesthesia (NUMBEE) compared to traditional local anesthesia: 1. Pain perception. 2. Pain related behaviors. 3. Dental anxiety 4. Anesthetic efficiency. 5. Patient acceptance and preference
Introduction. Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) is a condition that affects approximately a quarter of children and adolescents. Lack of patient cooperation due to DFA can create an environment of stress, often obligating dentists to end appointments prematurely. Virtual reality use could improve DFA in children with special health care needs (SHCN) undergoing dental procedures. Aim. Assess the feasibility and acceptability of VR immersion as a tool to reduce dental fear and anxiety in pediatric special needs patients undergoing dental procedures and gain insight on parents and healthcare providers perspectives on the use of VR during dental appointments. Methods. This pilot randomized controlled trial study will follow a parallel design including two groups: A control group (clinic's standard care) and an experimental group (virtual reality). Twenty participants will be randomized to either group. Recruitment will be carried out at the dental clinic of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine, a tertiary-quaternary care center that mostly serves pediatric patients with SHCN. The experimental group will receive the VR video game Dream designed specifically for this study. It aims at reducing anxiety in children aged 6 to 17 years old by mean of immersive distraction. The VR headset offers children with the ability of viewing the game they are playing in real time while simultaneously obstructing the partial view they would normally have of the procedure. The primary outcome will be assessment of dental fear and anxiety in children using both observation-based proxy assessment with the Venham Anxiety and Behavior Rating Scale (VABRS) and a physiological biomarker such as the level of salivary alpha-amylase. Sociodemographic characteristics, measures of level of satisfaction of parents and healthcare professionals, occurrence of side effects and any deviation from normal procedure length will also be collected. Analysis will be carried out using statistical analysis software SAS (version 9.4; Cary, NC, USA). Descriptive statistics will be conducted for demographic and clinical variables and will be used to present parents and healthcare professionals' satisfaction levels, and also procedural time. Discussion. The investigators believe that the results of this pilot study will provide a better understanding of the feasibility and effect of VR on DFA in children with SHCN.
Study involves the observation of the child's behavior during a dental treatment procedure. This allows for the evaluation of the child's experience of pain and discomfort through their facial expressions, body movements, and vocalizations during the procedure.
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to compare the effects of Immersive Virtual Reality(IVRE)(NIVRE) and Non Immersive Virtual Reality in children having dental anxiety.The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Does preoperative IVRE and NIVRE has any effect on dental anxiety in children measured with self-reported dental anxiety scale; Malay translated Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale faces version (MMCDASf)? 2. Does preoperative IVRE and NIVRE has any effect on dental anxiety in children measured with physiological measure, Pulse Rate(PR)? 3. Is there any difference in dental anxiety measured using MMCDASf and PR between IVRE,NIVRE and control group at pre-test and post-test? 4. What is the correlation between self-reported MMCDASf and physiological measure PR?
Dental anxiety considered as one of the weariest problems and disturbing problems with which the individual dentist has had to fight. Dental anxiety has been a major patient's complaint which interferes with different dental treatment. Therefore, dental anxiety may have a critical impact on the deterioration of oral health. It is a problem of many patients. Excessive dental anxiety will leads to bad oral health. It is estimated that about 36% of the world population are suffering from dental anxiety and 5- 15% of adults in developed countries suffer from severe anxiety to dental treatment. According to researchers, between 50% and 80% of adults in the United States have some degree of dental anxiety. In Saudi Arabia dental anxiety was found to be 50%. Very limited number of studies have been done in Iraq especially management of anxiety, for example in Baghdad, it was found that about 55% of study population had dental anxiety. Because of no studies have been conducted to determine the impact of dental anxiety management in Karbala city-Iraq, thus conducting such a study is timely and much needed to improve patient care. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of behavioral management technique on patients having different levels of dental anxiety, among Iraqi adult patients seeking private dental care in Karbala city. The main question it aims to answer is: Is dental anxiety management effective in decreasing dental anxiety levels among adult Iraqi patients seeking private dental care in Karbala city? Participants will be requested to fill the self-reported questionnaire paper for anxiety levels determination & sociodemographic factors. Researchers will use non-pharmacological behavioral therapeutic techniques including combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (distraction technique) and mindfulness therapy (relaxation breathing and muscle relaxation techniques) applied as one package. the patients with anxiety will be divided in to 2 groups; one group with applying intervention and the other group without applying intervention to see if the dental anxiety therapy is effective in decreasing dental anxiety level for anxiety patient. This study hypothesized that there is a significant difference in the changes of dental anxiety level between managed patients and not managed patients (between group) and (within group) between pre and post managed patients after three months follow up assessment.
The study sample will be divided randomly into 4 groups, each group will contain 27 children who need treatment in mandibular teeth and require anesthesia with inferior alveolar nerve block which is considered a painful procedure. In the aromatherapy group, 3 drops of lavender-Neroli will be applied to cotton balls, which will be placed in a box designed with 3D printing to be placed on the nasal mask that is similar to the one used when administering nitrous oxide, so that the child inhales the aroma of the essential oil through the nasal mask. The mask is applied 5 minutes before administering local anesthesia in order to allow the child to inhale the oil aroma prior to and during local anesthesia. In the music group, the music will be played from the recorder prior to local anesthesia and during it, music will be chosen by the child from the cartoon movies/tv shows they watch so that it is from his environment and familiar to them. In The third group, both music and aromatherapy will drive the anesthesia process. In The control groups, the child will put on the same nasal mask without an aromatherapy box to obtain a placebo effect and then receive the anesthesia.
The goal of this study is to determine whether intravenous sedation would contribute to the stabilization of hemodynamics in adult patients during periodontal/implant surgery compared to receiving local anesthesia during periodontal/implant surgery
Dental anxiety is a common problem encountered in the dental clinics that affect both patients and dentists. Adequate management of the dental anxiety is critical for optimal treatment outcomes of the patient. In this clinical trial, a total of sixty patients were randomly assigned to three groups as follows: Group 1, Iatrosedation, Group 2, Music Therapy, and Group 3, Control. Patients in all of the three groups underwent dental crown preparation. . To measure the anxiety levels of the patients, heart rate was measured using a pulse oximeter, and verbal rating scale scores were assessed
40 patients are included in the study, 20 patients in group 1 (=closure with composite material shaper; test group) and 20 patients in group 2 (=closure with custom-made zirconia oxide abutment; control group). Randomisation envelopes will be used for randomisation. Device under study: Straumann BLX, Roxolid® , SLActive® dental implants with a diameter of 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.5 mm are used.
