View clinical trials related to Dental Anxiety.
Filter by: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. Allogenic bone botiss maxgraft® cortical granules are used as graft material. Inclusion criteria: 1. Males and females at least 18 years of age or older. 2. One implant per patient. 3. Prior to any study-related activity, the subject must voluntarily sign informed consent, be willing and able to attend scheduled follow-up visits, and agree to the collection and analysis of pseudonymised data. 4. Lateral individual teeth (premolars and molars). 5. Class I extraction socket (intact buccal wall) or class II (1/3 of buccal wall). 6. The gingival contour of the tooth to be extracted - without recession. 7. Adjacent anterior teeth have no periodontal loss. 8. There are no implants in the adjacent teeth. 9. Non-traumatic tooth extraction, which results in intact walls of the socket. Exclusion criteria: 1. Deep occlusion (severe, class II). 2. The patient smokes a lot (more than 10 cigarettes per day). 3. Systemic disease (osteoporosis). 4. No initial stability has been achieved after the implant insertion procedure.
The goal of this study is to evaluate non-drug approaches to reducing dental anxiety prior to non-surgical root canal treatment. This will be done by comparing two relaxation methods which will be performed immediately prior to scheduled, clinical non-surgical root canal treatment. Measures of anxiety will be evaluated prior to, and after, the relaxation intervention, as well as after the non-surgical root canal treatment is completed. Participation in the study is completed in a single study visit.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptance of an eye massage device that produces nature sounds and vibratory stimulations in the management of anxious pediatric patients during inferior alveolar nerve block Group A (Control group): inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with basic behavior guidance techniques and without distraction aids. Group B: inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with the usage of the eye massage device producing both vibrations and nature sounds Group C: inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with the eye massage device producing vibratory stimulations only. All of the children who experienced an inferior alveolar block with/without distraction will be assessed by using a combination of measures: Wong-Baker faces and the Children's Fear Scale (self-report), heart pulse rate and blood pressure (physiological), and behavior (using Anxiety levels using Face - Legs - Activity - Cry - Consolability "FLACC" scale "external evaluator") Acceptance will be measured using a two-point Likert scale.
The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the efficacy of medical play in the dental setting to improve the behaviors and cooperation of neurotypical patients during dental visits. The specific aims of the study are as follows: 1. To evaluate differences in behaviors and cooperation levels of subjects utilizing medical play before a routine dental exam visit in comparison to those undergoing a routine dental exam visit without use of medical play. 2. To evaluate whether subjects who have a dental exam visit, with or without use of medical play, show improved behaviors and improved completion of components of the dental exam compared to their previous routine dental visit. 3. To evaluate provider perceptions of the behavior and cooperation of children using medical play before dental exam visits compared to dental exam visits without medical play. 4. To evaluate caregiver perceptions of the behavior and cooperation of children using medical play before dental exam visits compared to dental exam visits without medical play. 5. To evaluate patient perceptions of the dental exam, visit when medical play is used in comparison to dental exam visits without medical play. The hypotheses are as follows: 1. Subjects will have increased positive behaviors and improved cooperation during dental exam visits when medical play is utilized beforehand. 2. Providers will report improved behavior and cooperation from patients when medical play is utilized beforehand. 3. Parents will report improved behavior and cooperation from their children and report greater satisfaction with the dental visit when medical play is utilized beforehand. 4. Patients will report experiencing less anxiety, via the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale - Faces Version (MCDAS-f) after appointments in which medical play is utilized.
Mothers usually have the primary role in bringing up children and developing health-related behaviors. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mothers' dental anxiety and oral hygiene on the dental anxiety and periodontal health of their children. The study included 280 randomly selected children, aged 4-12 years, who came to the dentist for the first time and their mothers. Demographic and oral hygiene information of the mothers was collected through a questionaire. Dental anxiety of the mothers and children was assessed using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and the Venham Picture Test (VPT), respectively.
The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different preoperative information techniques (verbal, written, video with background audio, and silent video with subtitles) on patients' anxiety levels before and after third molar extraction. The secondary objective was to determine the superiority of the information methods evaluated over each other. We hypothesized that the information provided by video with or without background audio would decrease preoperative and postoperative anxiety levels more effectively than information provided by verbal and written methods.
Patients with dental anxiety only develop anxiety and fear about dental treatments. Patients with severe dental anxiety have difficulty cooperating with dental treatments, and can only complete dental treatments through general anesthesia, or even abandon treatments. Dexmedetomidine is a potent, highly selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, which provides good anxiolytic, sedative and analgesic effects and is commonly used in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine departments, routinely intravenously. In recent years, intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine has also been reported for pediatric dentistry and adult alveolar surgery, showing good sedative and analgesic effects. However, these studies have problems such as single surgical types, small sample size, and few indicators analyzed. Therefore, the evaluation of intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine is still not comprehensive enough. Besides, the anxiolytic effect of dexmedetomidine for dental anxiety has not been reported yet. This project plans to carry out a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, two-stage clinical trial. We will firstly explore a reasonable dose, and secondly verify it with placebo as the control. We plan to measure the object indicators, including the NTI value, plasma cortisol, interleukin-6, blood pressure and heart rate, and to assess the subjective indicators using scales and questionnaires, thus comprehensively evaluating the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of the anxiolytic effect of intranasal dexmedetomidine for severe dental anxious patients, and preliminary exploring its mechanism additionally. We intend to help severe dental anxious patients completing dental treatments.
Accumulating evidence has revealed the effects of anterior implant procedures on dental anxiety (DA), aesthetic perception and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). However, few reported the changes and influencing factors of the above outcomes before and after anterior implant treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes of DA, aesthetic perception and OHRQoL related to influencing factors of patients' demographics after anterior implant treatment.
the objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of olfaction in obtaining positive emotional and behavioral responses toward dental anxiety and pain in patients undergoing different dental procedures.
