Children’S Dental Anxiety

Objetivo: o objetivo desta série de relatos de caso foi avaliar a ansiedade em pacientes pediátricos submetidos a duas técnicas mecânicas de preparo cavitário: instrumentos rotatórios convencionais (alta e baixa velocidade) com ponta de diamante e abrasão ultra-sônica com sistema CVD ™. dicas. Material e Métodos: quatro pacientes, com idades entre 06 e 09 anos, que tinham pelo menos dois molares decíduos com superfície oclusal de cárie foram selecionados para este estudo. Os dentes foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos experimentais: CVD (sistema CVD com preparo cavitário) e grupo CRI (preparo cavitário com instrumentos rotatórios). Os procedimentos de preparo foram realizados sob anestesia local e o dique de borracha e as cavidades foram restauradas com resina composta. No início e no final de cada visita, aplicou-se um questionário fechado que objetivou avaliar a ansiedade da criança durante a visita, na qual cada técnica de preparo foi utilizada. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva. Resultados: comportamento e ansiedade foram avaliados em 04 dentes de cada grupo (dois de cada criança). A ansiedade moderada / grave foi observada em todos os pacientes, independentemente da técnica utilizada para a remoção da cárie. Independentemente da intervenção testada na maioria dos casos, as crianças tratadas ficaram ansiosas antes das consultas. Conclusão: considerando as limitações deste estudo preliminar, pode-se observar que o tratamento odontológico e seus eventos relacionados, independentemente das técnicas mecânicas de preparo cavitário utilizadas, podem estar relacionados à ansiedade do paciente pediátrico.

Children’S Dental Anxiety

AbstractDental practitioners should be able to evaluate the anxiety in their young patients, as the quality of dental care is negatively affected by this condition. The aim of this review is to present the most used self-report scales available to assess the children’s dental fear or anxiety. We analysed the subjective and objective measures commonly used in the evaluation of children’s anxiety in clinical settings, in order to present the way in which dental anxiety is developed, knowing that these behavioural disturbances are maintained over time and could intensify during adulthood. Based on the evidence that established a correlation between dental anxiety and poor oral health, the early identification of dental anxiety and its prevalence was considered important, in order to reduce its impact and to develop better preventive measures. Furthermore, our findings could inform dentists and epidemiologists about the choice of self-report dental anxiety measures applicable in children.

Children’S Dental Anxiety

Abstract Background: Dental anxiety (DA) has an impact on the quality of dental treatment and may have long-lasting implications for children. A recent study introducing experiential learning (EL) into children’s oral health promotion resulted in better oral hygiene. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether EL can reduce children's DA. Methods: In September 2018, we recruited 988 children aged 7-8 years from 24 classes to participate in a cluster-randomized trial. Classes were randomly assigned to EL (in which children received a lively presentation on oral health and participated in a role play in a simulated dental clinic in the classroom) or the Tell-Show-Do (TSD) group (in which children received a conventional TSD behavior management). The primary outcome was the prevalence of high DA after the procedure of pit and fissure sealant (PFS), assessed by a modified Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale. Secondary outcomes were changes in blood pressures (BP) and pulse rates (PR) before and after the PFS procedure. The intervention effects were estimated by means of mixed effect models, which included covariates of gender and school (and baseline value for BP and PR only), and a random cluster effect.Results: In 396 children of the EL group who received the PFS treatment, the prevalence of high DA (score ≥ 38) was 18.5%, compared with 24.3% in 391 children of the TSD group (OR=0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.46-0.93; P=0.019). The increases in BP and PR after the PFS were also significantly less in the EL group. Conclusion: School-based experiential learning intervention before a dental visit is feasible and effective in reducing children’s dental anxiety during PFS.Trial registration: The trial was registered in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on 5 January 2020 (No.: ChiCTR2000028878, retrospectively registered), http://www.chictr.org.cn/edit.aspx?pid=47970&htm=4.
