Filter by:Application of deep touch pressure (DTP) has been suggested to provide positive effects on anxiety modulation. However, empirical and theoretical evidence linked to the clinical effects of DTP is relatively rare in the behavioral and physiological aspects. The aim of this intervention trial study designs to investigate the effect of DTP in dental treatment by quantitative analysis of behavioral assessments and physiological measurements, including the electrodermal activity and heart rate variability, were conducted to understand the modulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the orchestration of sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PsNS) nervous systems.
The objective is to compare the changes produced in cardiological and respiratory parameters in three groups of patients undergoing oral surgery. The first group was treated with local anesthesia, a second group with local anesthesia plus oral conscious sedation with midazolam, and a third subject under anesthesia local with inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide. A total of 90 non-cooperative phobic adult patients belonging to the group of patients of the University Master in Oral Surgery, Implantology and Periodontics of the University of León will be included in this study, after their information and acceptance of verbal and written consent, separated into three groups without significant differences in age, sex, smoking habits, cardiac or respiratory pathologies, and will be treated by advanced procedures of Oral Surgery, Periodontics and Implantology such as Sinus lift, Periodontal Surgeries and Implant Surgeries. They will be randomly divided into three groups of 30 patients each. They will be given a prior consent both of the procedures to be performed and of the sedation procedure to which they will be subjected, if that is the case, without knowing what dose they will be administered. In case of being sedated, they will be informed verbally of the details concerning the procedure.
Anxiety and pain are emotions that the child often experiences in the dental office, generating the appearance of negative, uncooperative and even disruptive behaviors during the treatment; these make it difficult for dental care and the possibility of establishing a relationship of trust between the pediatric dentist and the patient. The pediatric dentist must promote a positive attitude of the child throughout the dental treatment, keep the child calm and avoid feeling pain is essential at each appointment. When carrying out dental treatments that are more invasive or painful for the patient, such as pulpotomies, it is difficult to distinguish and separate anxiety from pain. In this project, anxiety/pain will be managed as a whole, to assess it with the same scale, and to correlate the scores obtained with the variations in skin conductance and heart rate, before, during and after perform pulpotomies in children.
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) on anxiety, mood, vital signs (blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate and saturation) for oral surgery patients.
The overall objective of the activities described in this protocol is to examine the efficacy of the Internet-based intervention in the reduction of dental anxiety in patients seeking dental treatment. This study has 2 primary objectives and 2 secondary objectives: Primary Objective 1-Therapy Aides: To compare the efficacy of the intervention as administered by personnel with training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to the efficacy of the intervention as administered by dental staff who have undergone a brief but specific training in the administration of the intervention. Primary Objective 2-Intervention Efficacy: To compare the efficacy of the intervention, administered by either type of therapy aide (CBT personnel or dental staff), to an active control condition. Secondary Objective 1-Tests of Moderators: To examine whether baseline levels of distress tolerance and pain sensitivity moderate the efficacy of the dental anxiety intervention, regardless of therapy aide, in comparison to an active control condition. Secondary Objective 2-Other Intervention Effects: To explore effects of the intervention beyond primary efficacy, including attendance at recall visits in the 12 months after the intervention; pain intensity; avoidance due to fear of dental procedures; and client satisfaction.
Introduction: Dental anxiety (DA) is treatable and preventable when dental personnel correctly estimate the patient's level of DA. Objective: To evaluate dental personnel's ability to estimate DA.
This study evaluates the efficacy of Camouflage syringe vs Conventional syringe in reducing Dental Anxiety and increasing behaviour rating.Half of the participants received local anesthesia using camouflaged syringe, while others received using conventional syringe.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual-reality audio-visual distraction goggles on pain and behavior scores in a population of 8-12 year old dental patients receiving routine dental care in an outpatient clinical setting.
Exposure therapy, including its self-directed forms, is effective for treatment of specific phobias. Nevertheless, there are issues with patient adherence in the use of exposure therapy, including its self-directed formats. Technological advancements, as with smartphones, may improve adherence to self-directed exposure therapy, perhaps due to exposure stimuli being more readily accessible. Thus, there is a need to examine how presenting phobic material on a smartphone might promote increased adherence in conducting self-directed exposure. Additionally, exposure can incorporate phobic material from different perspectives (i.e., first-person or third-person), which is one factor that may impact treatment effectiveness. Participants will be randomly assigned to a treatment or control condition, and complete a pre-assessment and then a post-assessment two weeks later. The assessment consists of a multimodal approach (e.g., self-report, physiological response, and overt behavior). Participants in the treatment condition will be instructed to watch a standard exposure video of a dental examination and prophylaxis three times daily for two weeks. One week of videos was shown in a first-person perspective and the same video will be shown in a third-person perspective for one week. The study can demonstrate the potential utility of smartphone-based self-directed exposure therapy for specific phobia.
This study will evaluate the perceptions of the effects of two anxiolytic medications commonly used during dental treatment in patients weighing 40 kilograms or more.
