Brief Summary:
The aim in this study is to compare the results of anxiety measurement of the child using the CDH scale with the long-used FaceLegsActivityCry and Consolability scale FLACC scale Frankl behaviour rating scale and pulse oximeter reading to see if the drawing alone can be a reliable tool to predict the childs behaviour before the dental procedure
Detailed Description:
Dental anxiety is one of the major problems facing us in pediatric dentistry the new experience that the child has to go through together with the difficulty for the child to express his exact cause of fear increases the problem
Research has shown that healthcare providers spend more time communicating with parents than pediatric patients In a typical medical care visit less than 20 of the communication engaged pediatric patients regardless of age Most decision-making and treatment planning are done by dentists and parents
Even when the dentist tries to engage the child in the conversation it usually includes the social aspect his favourite hobby toys school topics etc rather than the medical history or treatment decisions so the child is unaccustomed to discussing his dental fears and complaints to the dentist hence we lose a lot of the child39s trust
Drawing has been used in literature as a psychological method to express one39s thoughts and fears and can be analyzed by the healthcare provider to know the deeper thoughts of the child
Thus the current study aims to deeply understand the children39s point of view towards dental treatment and use the drawings as a projective tool to assess the dental anxiety in those children by simple index and defined scores that every dentist could learn and apply
