Filter by:A study by Allied Health Professionals to explore the experience of patients undergoing tooth extraction at Leeds Dental Institute in relation to antibiotic medication, dental anxiety and oral health practices
The aim of this study was to observe the level of anxiety and its relationship with cardiovascular changes in each implant.
The aim is to apply short-term virtual reality relaxation to examine if it is effective in reducing pre-operative dental anxiety in primary health care using an RCT.
The study assesses the effect of a new vibration system on pain reduction during the injection of local anesthesia. Children undergoing dental treatment are allocated to two groups; one receiving the Buzz, a vibration system and another group receiving nothing. Pain during injection of local anesthetic is assessed using a validated tool in addition to assessment of child cooperation during treatment.
Dental anxiety is fear associated with the thought of visiting the dentist for preventive care and dental procedures. Children with dental anxiety characterized by crying before dental checkup, tachycardia and aggressively clinging to the accompanying parent. It has been cited as the fifthmost common cause of anxiety by Agras et al. Dental anxiety may have major and long-lasting implications for the child and their family. Cohen et al reported that dental anxiety affects an individual's life in multiple ways. The physiological impacts included signs and symptoms of the fright response and feelings of exhaustion after a dental appointment, while the cognitive impacts included an array of negative thoughts, beliefs, and fears. Dental anxiety in children could remain a problem in adulthood if not handled properly thus it will affect oral health and psycho-social condition. This research is conducted to deliver different concepts in psychological and behavioral techniques in management of anxious pediatric dental patients.
The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of a digital tool on the interaction between the dentist and the adolescent patient, concerning the level of dental anxiety and communication. To achieve this purpose, a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial will be performed using a short version of e-SAID (Survey of Anxiety and Information for Dentists) in Portuguese (FALE). That is, the intervention to be tested is an application usage, which will contain a questionnaire with questions supposedly made by the dentist, about feelings regarding the dental appointment and preferences for coping with dental treatment. Thus, the use of this digital tool aims to facilitate communication, favoring the adolescent-dentist relationship, and establishing empathy.
Anxiety is an important issue in dental care for adults, children and adolescents. Dental anxiety affects 10-20% of adults and 43% of children and adolescents. Dental anxiety often leads to avoiding dental treatment; this can cause serious deterioration of oral and dental health. Such deterioration can significantly increase dental care costs. Therefore, reducing anxiety is important both in terms of patient, physician and cost. Music intervention is a psychological therapy that has many advantages when used in outpatient treatment, including cost-effectiveness, lack of negative physical effects, rapid effect, lack of safety in terms of non-use and lack of concern for recovery. Some types of studies suggested but not tested against each other include classical music, soft rock, calming music, pop, easy listening music, and music of choice. With the contradictory results of various studies, the fact that the distraction of music and its distraction on the reduction of tooth anxiety is not common shows that a more structured study is needed. The lack of precise data on the effects of different music types on anxiety has led to this study.
Implants embedded under the oral mucosa were exposed with scalpel (Group 1) or laser surgery (Group 2). Before the operation the patients were asked to fill the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) while resting in the waiting room.
This study was performed on 66 patients who were admitted for third molar extraction under local anesthesia. The patients were divided into three groups: group 1 with verbal information, group 2 with written information, and group 3 with previous surgical experience. Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S), Dental Fear Scale (DFS), Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were used pre- and postoperatively to evaluate dental anxiety
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of nebulized Midazolam, Dexmedetomidine, and their combination as procedural, moderate sedative agents in preschoolers undergoing dental treatment.
