Video Modelling and Dental Determinants on Dental Anxiety in Children

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if video modelling reduces dental anxiety in children aged 8-12 years in Depok City. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does video modelling exposure significantly lower dental anxiety levels compared to educational video or control groups? Do family sociodemographic factors, dental health knowledge, dental visit patterns, and caries experience contribute to children's dental anxiety? Researchers compare anxiety scores of the video modelling group to the educational video group and control group (no intervention) to assess anxiety reduction effects before and after controlling for confounding factors. Children aged 8-12 years are the participants. Enumerators interview them using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale Integrated with Facial Image Scale (MDAS+FIS) before and after each intervention, while children watch assigned videos: video modelling (twice), educational video (twice), or none (control). Enumerators record all responses. Children also undergo World Health Organization Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (WHO DMFT/dmft) index dental exams plus interviews about dental knowledge, practices, caries complaints, and visit patterns. Parents complete separate interviews and surveys about family sociodemographics, their own dental knowledge and practice, and their children's dental knowledge, practices, visits, and caries experience.
