Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of sweet in compare to virtual reality (VR) device in reducing injection pain and anxiety associated with local anesthesia in pediatric dental patients.
The clinical trial is a randomized split-mouth assignment. Included patients are 5 - 12 years old requiring local anesthetic infiltration with conventional syringe (CS) for conservative treatment of two primary maxillary molars bilaterally.
Eligible patients undergo two single-visit treatments after CFSS-DS measurement before each, whereas sweet is allocated to first local anesthesia procedure and VR is allocated to second local anesthesia procedure. Primary outcome measure will be pain felt during injection, reported by patient on visual analogue scale (VAS). Secondary outcome measures: self-reported anxiety during injection on FIS; pain-related behavior according to FLACC scale; heart-rate dynamics; patient preference to local anesthesia method - CS+sweet or CS+VR.
Detailed Description:
Achieving local anesthesia in children is one of the critical aspects of pain management and they effect the quality of treatment as well as behavior of child.
A contemporary engaging form of distraction is represented by virtual reality devices. Virtual reality (VR) devices create a virtual environment of view and sound that allow patients to be immersed in an interactive, simulated world to distract them from pain. The VR devices have a wide viewing field and three-dimensional displays that project the images right in front of the user. They not only show potentially attractive audio-visual stimuli, but also exclude all other visual environmental stimuli that may affect the patient.
While sweet-tasting reduce signs of pain during painful procedures. This effect is considered to be mediated both by the release of endorphins and by a pre absorptive mechanism related to the sweet taste.
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of sweet-testing compare to a virtual reality (VR) device in reducing injection pain and anxiety associated with local anesthesia in pediatric dental patients.
The device used in this study is Harga Miniso Vr Glass 3d terbaru, compatible with a mobile phone.
The sweet used is xylitol tablet The clinical trial is a randomized split-mouth assignment. Included patients are healthy positive children 5-12 years old requiring local anesthetic infiltration for conservative treatment of two primary maxillary molars bilaterally.
Eligible patients undergo two single-visit treatments after measurement of dental fear prior to each according to the Dental Subscale of the Children's Fear Survey Schedule (CFSS-DS). Local anesthetic is delivered through buccal infiltration with conventional syringe, where is the sweet-test applied with first local anesthesia procedure and the virtual reality distraction is allocated to second local anesthesia procedure. Primary outcome measure will be pain felt during injection, reported by patient on visual analogue scale. Secondary outcome measures: self-reported anxiety during injection on Facial Image Scale; pain-related behavior according to Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale; heart-rate dynamics; patient preference to local anesthesia method - sweet test infiltration or virtual reality device-assisted injection.
