Er:YAG Laser Therapy in Combination With Behaviour Management Technique in Reducing Anxiety Among Paediatric Patients

Dental Caries Clinical Trial

Official title:
Efficiency of Er:YAG Laser Therapy in Combination With Behaviour Management Technique in Reducing Anxiety Among Paediatric Dental Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of a modified version of the behaviour management technique Latent inhibition in combination with Er:YAG laser for achieving reduction of dental anxiety in paediatric dental patients. The main objectives are to compare dental anxiety felt during the laser and conventional dental treatment. The outcomes will be dental anxiety assessment by a self-reported anxiety during treatment in both group as well as measurement of heart rate dynamics during the procedures.

Clinical Trial Description

When providing dental care to child patients with a high level of dental anxiety, the range of approaches are divided into two sections - use of behavior management techniques and application of alternative methods for caries removal. In attempt to reduce dental anxiety, they can be mixed and matched in accordance with the dentists' choice. Owing to the promoted advantages Er:YAG laser turns into an ideal alternative technique for hard dental tissue therapy in anxious pediatric patients.This is a protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial. The participants will be children aged aged 6-12 years, requiring conservative treatment of occlusal carious lesions on a second primary molar. Patients will be randomly assigned to experimental or control group via computer-generated sequence. In both groups Latent inhibition will be used as an anxiety-management technique. In the experimental group caries treatment will be performed with Erbium:YAG laser, whereas in the control group with the conventional rotary instruments. Outcome measures will be dental anxiety felt before and after the treatment and the dynamics of heart rate, registered during the treatment session. ;
