In order to avoid the psychological harm caused by pain to patients, in this study, the application effect of computer-assisted local anesthesia in patient surgery was studied. In this method, 72 patients with hypertension, 35 males and 37 females, aged 53–83 years, with an average age of 70.8 ± 1.3 years, were selected for appointment tooth extraction in the department of stomatology from January to December 2014. All patients were booked for tooth extraction by ECG monitoring. Patients who were contraindicated for tooth extraction, had a history of mental illness, and had used antianxiety drugs and sedatives within 1 week before surgery were excluded. Patients were randomly divided into two groups according to their ID numbers: observation group, 36 cases, and control group. Painless oral local anesthesia injection instrument was used for local anesthesia injection. In the control group, 36 patients were injected with local anesthesia by traditional manual injection. The results showed that 86.11% of patients in the observation group had decreased anxiety scores after anesthesia, while only 13.88% of patients in the control group had decreased anxiety scores. Among patients with decreased anxiety scores, 80.65% in the observation group became nondental anxiety compared with 28.57% in the control group. Computer-assisted oral local anesthesia can effectively control dental anxiety and relieve the pain and discomfort of local anesthesia injection, and improve patient satisfaction, conducive to the smooth nursing work.

Aim: To assess the impact of colors on child’s anxiety and treatment preference for local anesthesia injections. Material and Method: The study group consisted of 100 randomly selected children aged 9 years. A specially prepared proforma was used to record personal information and history. Anxiety was assessed using faces version of the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale and children were categorized as anxious and non-anxious in the playroom. In the dental operatory, dental injectors (conventional plastic injector and six different colored plastic injectors) were displayed on a tray and were introduced to the children. The children were asked to consider which injectors they would prefer “if their tooth had to be put to sleep,” and their preferences were noted starting with their first choice. Sheets with stylized cartoon drawing of faces (modified Venham Picture Test) with six different emotions (happy, scared, crying, sad, angry, and running away) opposite line drawings of colored dental injectors were distributed. All the children were asked to match the cartoon faces with the injectors as per their preference. The data was collected and statistical analysis was done using SPSS 19.0. Results: A response analysis was performed in Microsoft excel, and frequencies were noted for color preferences in males and females. Significant differences between genders as well as different colors association was found. Conclusion: Reducing child’s anxiety through remodeling of physical appearance and color of dental instruments could be a potential modality of behavior management that needs further research.

AbstractLocal anesthetics are the most commonly used drugs in dentistry. Despite preoperative patient evaluation, proper tissue preparation and meticulous administration techniques many local and systemic complications with the local anesthesia or tooth extraction have been reported from time to time. Extension of dental infections from maxillary teeth and other nearby structures to orbital spaces and tissues surrounding the eye present a rare but serious problem with the potential for causing significant impairment. The practioner should be aware of the severe consequences that may result from tooth extraction or local anesthesia.
