Summary

Anxiety and pain are emotions that the child often experiences in the dental office, generating the appearance of negative, uncooperative and even disruptive behaviors during the treatment; these make it difficult for dental care and the possibility of establishing a relationship of trust between the pediatric dentist and the patient. The pediatric dentist must promote a positive attitude of the child throughout the dental treatment, keep the child calm and avoid feeling pain is essential at each appointment.

When carrying out dental treatments that are more invasive or painful for the patient, such as pulpotomies, it is difficult to distinguish and separate anxiety from pain.

In this project, anxiety/pain will be managed as a whole, to assess it with the same scale, and to correlate the scores obtained with the variations in skin conductance and heart rate, before, during and after perform pulpotomies in children.

Conditions

  • Dental Anxiety
  • Pain

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Hypnosis

Therapeutic technique in which clinicians make suggestions to individuals who have undergone a procedure designed to relax them and focus their minds.

BEHAVIORAL

Tell, show, do technique

The technique involves verbal explanations of procedures in phrases appropriate to the developmental level of the patient (tell); demonstrations for the patient of the visual, auditory, olfactory, and tactile aspects of the procedure in a carefully defined, nonthreatening setting (show); and then, without deviating from the explanation and demonstration, completion of the procedure (do). Tell-show-do technique is used with communication skills (verbal and nonverbal) and positive reinforcement.
