NCT ID: NCT06276478 Enrolling by invitation - Dental Anxiety Clinical Trials

Positive Psychological Deconditioning of Pediatric Patients With Dental Anxiety Through Artificial Intelligence

Start date: March 4, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pediatric patients who will be attending dental treatment at both the Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry Unit, Department of Clinical, Surgical, Diagnostic, and Pediatric Sciences at the University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy and a private dental practice in Genoa, Italy, will be recruited for the study. A cartoon version of a small molar will be drawn using the software Paint (version 22000.0, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington State, U.S.). The drawing will be animated using an AI-based software (Sketch MetaDemolab, Meta AI Research, Astor Place, New York city, New York, U.S.). A text will be created in collaboration with OpenAI (version 3.5, Open AI, San Francisco, California, U.S.) to be integrated into the video, utilizing terminology deemed most suitable for a patient with dental anxiety. The text will be transformed from written to spoken dialogue using an AI-based software (Flexclip, version 5.6.0, PearlMountain, Hong Kong, China), and then incorporated into the video. Children will undergo the first dental visit at the baseline (T0), in which the following indexes will be assessed: Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS), Face-Leg-Activity-Cry-Consolability Scale (FLACC), Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), Bleeding on Probing (BOP) and the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). They will be randomly divided into two group: - in the Trial group, patients will watch the the video, and then the tell-show-do technique will be used to explain the dental procedures; - in the Control group, only the "tell-show-do" technique will be used. Variables considered will include age, gender, and the presence/absence of a parent or another companion. At the second visit (T1), scheduled approximately after two weeks, the variables will be re-evaluated and professional debridement will be performed with a piezoelectric instrument (Satelect Acteon Newton p5 xs,Acteon Group, Mèrignac, France and Sonicflex Kavo, KaVo Dental, Biberach an der Riss, Germany) and manual scaler/curettes (Courette 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14 Gracey and Scaler lm 23, Hu Friedy, Europe). Values will be registered again, for the third time, after the professional debridement.

NCT ID: NCT06266156 Completed - Dental Anxiety Clinical Trials

Evaluation of The Effect of Consecutive Dental Visits on Dental Anxiety of Paediatric Patients

Start date: August 5, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to learn about in effect of consecutive dental visits on dental anxiety of paediatric patients. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: - Did the anxiety level of pediatric patients decrease in consecutive treatment sessions? - Were there changes in the physiological parameters related to stress level of pediatric patients in consecutive treatment sessions? Participants will fill out the questionnaire about dental anxiety in each dental treatment sessions before and after dental treatment. Researchers will compare paeditric patients have two caries on mandibular molars to see if changes dental anxiety levels and physiological parameters such as heart rates and oxygen saturations during dental treatments in consecutive dental treatment sessions.

NCT ID: NCT06243705 Recruiting - Dental Anxiety Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Robot-pets in Reducing Dental Anxiety in Children

Start date: October 2, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Dental anxiety is a psychological condition marked by fear and worry about potential negative experiences during dental treatment, often accompanied by a feeling of loss of control. Dental anxiety is common in children and adolescents and is associated with a lower quality of life related to oral health. Furthermore, it correlates with an increased incidence of untreated caries. Using behavioral management techniques can help children cope with dental anxiety, making it easier for them to undergo treatment in a positive and healthy way. Primarily aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a robot-pet to reduce dental anxiety in children. Additionally, the research aims to compare the efficacy of this technique with the audiovisual distraction technique and to evaluate children's perceptions regarding the use of a robot-pet.

NCT ID: NCT06182462 Recruiting - Dental Anxiety Clinical Trials

Virtual Reality Distraction for Dental Anxiety (RCT)

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to verify the efficacy of VR immersion over a muted cartoon on a wall-mounted TV to decrease dental fear and anxiety of children undergoing dental procedures. The study also aims to gain insight on the satisfaction of parents and healthcare providers on the use of VR during dental appointments. Main research question: Does VR immersion compare to a cartoon on a wall-mounted TV is more efficacious to decrease dental fear and anxiety of children requiring dental procedures? Participants will be playing through a VR immersive game wearing a eye-tracking VR headset that requires no movement of the head to play, facilitating the dental procedure. The investigators will take measures of the stress levels of participants and their parents using a validated stress scale and also by taking salivary samples to verify the levels of a stress biomarker (alpha-amylase).

NCT ID: NCT06153823 Recruiting - Dental Anxiety Clinical Trials

Virtual Reality Glasses Integrated With Sign Language on Dental Anxiety Among Children With Hearing Impairment During Pulpotomy Procedure

Start date: October 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To evaluate the impact of using virtual reality glasses using sign language as a distraction method to reduce the dental anxiety in moderate to severe hearing-impaired children compared to the conventional behavior management technique during pulpotomy treatment. The study will be a randomized controlled parallel two arms clinical trial, a total of 40 healthy children aged 5-7 years with moderate to severe hearing disability, will be selected from Pediatric Dentistry and dental public health Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Egypt. Children selected should have at least one primary molar indicated for pulpotomy. The eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the study group, which will use virtual reality glasses with sign language as a distraction method to manage children's behavior, and the control group, which will use the conventional behavior management strategies including show-tell-do, and positive reinforcement. Local anesthesia will be given and pulpotomy procedure will be done on the selected tooth followed by stainless steel crown restoration. Pre and post-operative assessment of child's dental anxiety will be done using three methods: physiologically using pulse oximeter for measuring the heart rate, objectively using Venham clinical anxiety rating scale, and subjectively using the modified facial image scale.
