Filter by:There is still extensive debate on the best method of controlling the behavior of preschool children during dental treatment. Protective stabilization, moderate sedation and general anesthesia are advanced behavior control techniques indicated for the dental treatment of early childhood caries and offer advantages and disadvantages during the procedure or immediately after. Many children with early childhood caries require invasive dental treatment. According to the final report of a large epidemiological survey on the oral condition of Brazilians, five-year-old children had an average of 2.43 primary teeth with caries and fewer than 20% of these had been treated in 2010. This disease also remains a public health problem in most developed countries; 19.5% of 2-5-year-old American children have untreated cavities. There is, however, a lack of the ideal sedative. Such drugs must, on the one hand, control the behavior of integral form, provide amnesia, minimizing physical discomfort, distress and pain, and, on the other, safeguard security, with minimal effect on the cardio-respiratory function, minimizing the occurrence of adverse events, as well as allowing the return of the patient to a State that allows high safely. The investigators thus performed this prospective study with the aim to assess the occurrence of adverse events during dental treatment and in the first 24 hours after sedation with midazolam, ketamine and sevoflurane in children aged four to six years. Our hypothesis was that no differences in adverse events among different association of drugs could be found.
Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group clinical trial evaluating the anxiolytic effects of propranolol on fear of wisdom tooth removal. It is hypothesized that, compared to placebo, perioperative oral propranolol reduces dental trait anxiety at 1 month follow-up after wisdom tooth removal.
The aims of the study: to explore the possible effectiveness of cognitive behavior treatment (CBT) among children and adolescents with formally diagnosed intra-oral injection phobia (DSM-IV), when performed by specially trained dentists. The patients diagnosed with intra-oral injection phobia according to the diagnostic manual DSM-IV. The effect of cognitive behavior therapy when performed by specially trained dentists will be evaluated. Patients referred to the Centre for Odontophobia, and who meet the inclusion criteria, will be allocated to an immediate treatment group (test group) and a waiting list group (control group) of 30 subjects in each group. After treatment they will be followed up during a 1-year period. Hypotheses are formulated based on the literature and previous population and treatment studies of similar designs among adults at the Centre for Odontophobia.
Dental and health anxiety are common and potentially distressing problems, for both patients and health care providers. Anxiety has been identified as a barrier to regular dental visits and as an important target for enhancement of oral health-related quality of life. The goal of this project is to develop a computer-administered dental anxiety management program that can easily be implemented in dental health care settings. Our aim is for this management program to: 1) integrate different treatments modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) into one computer-based protocol; 2) facilitate patient adherence to this protocol; 3) lend itself to empirical validation; and 4) lend itself to dissemination to other research and treatment settings. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted (n=200). Based on the subjects responses to the screening questionnaires, consenting dental patients at Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry will be assigned to one of 2 possible groups, (1) high dental anxiety and (2) low dental anxiety. The intervention package will be delivered to a randomly selected half of participants in group 1 (high anxiety group), whereas the remaining participants in this group will be assigned to a delayed treatment control condition. The low dental anxiety patients (group 2) will be used as a benchmark against which to compare post-treatment (or post-control) outcomes for the high anxiety patients. We hope to develop an intervention that can be easily implemented in a broader context without the need for highly specialized personnel.
This study was to compare the effectiveness of three drugs (Passiflora incarnata, Erythrina mulungum, Midazolam) in controlling anxiety in patients undergoing bilateral extraction of asymptomatic, impacted mandibular third molars.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Erythrina mulungu in controlling anxiety in patients undergoing bilateral extraction of asymptomatic, impacted mandibular third molars.
A single bout of physical activity (treadmill)immediately prior to the dental examination reduces anxiety in patients with dental phobia.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Filmed modelling in comparison with commonly used Tell-Show-Do technique on the anxious and cooperative behaviour of 4-6 years old children during dental practice.
Use lay language. To compare patient level of cooperation during dental care under conscious sedation with midazolam according to the administration route
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive behaviour therapy is effective in the treatment of children and adolescents with dental anxiety. Our hypothesis is that children and adolescents who have been offered CBT shows significant better performance on outcome measures compared with patients in control group who have received treatment as usual.
