Abstract

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of child-friendly dentist attire and camouflage syringes on reducing dental anxiety in children.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 120 pediatric patients aged 6 to 12 years. Participants were assigned to one of three groups: group A (child-friendly dentist attire), group B (camouflage syringe), or group C (control group). Child preference for dentist attire was assessed using a visual analog scale, while dental anxiety was measured using the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale and the Facial Image Scale.

RESULTS

The results showed a significant decrease in dental anxiety scores in both group 2 and group 3 compared to group 1 ( < 0.001). Children in group A exhibited a higher preference for child-friendly dentist attire [mean score: 8.7, standard deviation (SD): 1.2] compared to group 1 (mean score: 3.2, SD: 1.5) ( < 0.001). Similarly, children in group 2 showed a higher preference for a camouflage syringe (mean score: 8.5, SD: 1.3) compared to group 1 (mean score: 3.4, SD: 1.6) ( < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Child-friendly dentist attire and camouflage syringes were found to be effective in reducing dental anxiety among pediatric patients. These interventions were well received by children and their parents, highlighting the importance of considering child preferences in dental settings.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估儿童友好型牙医着装和伪装注射器对降低儿童牙科焦虑的效果。

方法

对120名6至12岁的儿科患者进行了一项横断面研究。参与者被分为三组之一：A组（儿童友好型牙医着装）、B组（伪装注射器）或C组（对照组）。使用视觉模拟量表评估儿童对牙医着装的偏好，同时使用改良儿童牙科焦虑量表和面部图像量表测量牙科焦虑。

结果

结果显示，与第1组相比，第2组和第3组的牙科焦虑评分均显著降低（<0.001）。与第1组（平均得分：3.2，标准差[SD]：1.5）相比，A组儿童对儿童友好型牙医着装表现出更高的偏好[平均得分：8.7，SD：1.2]（<0.001）。同样，与第1组（平均得分：3.4，SD：1.6）相比，第2组儿童对伪装注射器表现出更高的偏好（平均得分：8.5，SD：1.3）（<0.001）。
