Filter by: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).
Compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of demineralized dentin matrix scaffold to blood clot scaffold in immature permanent incisors with non-vital pulps for one year (in vivo). Investigate the effect of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) (in vitro).
Introduction. Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) is a condition that affects approximately a quarter of children and adolescents. Lack of patient cooperation due to DFA can create an environment of stress, often obligating dentists to end appointments prematurely. Virtual reality use could improve DFA in children with special health care needs (SHCN) undergoing dental procedures. Aim. Assess the feasibility and acceptability of VR immersion as a tool to reduce dental fear and anxiety in pediatric special needs patients undergoing dental procedures and gain insight on parents and healthcare providers perspectives on the use of VR during dental appointments. Methods. This pilot randomized controlled trial study will follow a parallel design including two groups: A control group (clinic's standard care) and an experimental group (virtual reality). Twenty participants will be randomized to either group. Recruitment will be carried out at the dental clinic of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine, a tertiary-quaternary care center that mostly serves pediatric patients with SHCN. The experimental group will receive the VR video game Dream designed specifically for this study. It aims at reducing anxiety in children aged 6 to 17 years old by mean of immersive distraction. The VR headset offers children with the ability of viewing the game they are playing in real time while simultaneously obstructing the partial view they would normally have of the procedure. The primary outcome will be assessment of dental fear and anxiety in children using both observation-based proxy assessment with the Venham Anxiety and Behavior Rating Scale (VABRS) and a physiological biomarker such as the level of salivary alpha-amylase. Sociodemographic characteristics, measures of level of satisfaction of parents and healthcare professionals, occurrence of side effects and any deviation from normal procedure length will also be collected. Analysis will be carried out using statistical analysis software SAS (version 9.4; Cary, NC, USA). Descriptive statistics will be conducted for demographic and clinical variables and will be used to present parents and healthcare professionals' satisfaction levels, and also procedural time. Discussion. The investigators believe that the results of this pilot study will provide a better understanding of the feasibility and effect of VR on DFA in children with SHCN.
We will Choose patients with tooth loosening caused by tooth trauma and requiring fix in the department of Pediatric Dentistry and emergency of Stomatology Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from July 2022 to May 2025. These patients will be randomly divided into digital impression module (experimental group) and ordinary impression group (control group).The operation time, comfort index and efficacy index of the two groups were compared to investigate the advantages of digital impressions in the application of traumatic dental injuries in children.
In this study, the dimensional changes of the labial alveolar ridge are digitally assessed after immediate implant placement using the socket shield technique with computer guided sectioning of the root.
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.
Dental trauma injuries during childhood may have an adverse impact on oral health throughout life. If trauma injuries causes pulpal necrosis, then the root stop forming. These teeth have consequently a questionable long-term survival. Dental management of necrotic teeth with aberrant root formation represents a challenging clinical situation. The classical approach for treating these teeth includes apexification. Both apexification with Calcium hydroxide and MTA do not achieve the goals of continued root development or restoration of pulp tissue functionality. In the last decades, a biological based approach referred as "revascularization", or "regeneration" has emerged as a biological treatment for necrotic pulps with aberrant root development. This treatment aims to regenerate pulp-like tissue within the root canal space after inducing an influx of stem cells from the apical papilla that results in reestablishment of pulp protective functions. There is evidence supporting the regeneration potential of dental tissues after regenerative endodontic treatment. However, root formation in traumatized immature teeth seems variable. The overall goal of this study is to gain knowledge about the treatment of immature necrotic teeth in young individuals due to dental trauma. The primary goal is to compare volumetric hard tissue formation between the MTA apexification and the regeneration treatment.
