Information about the effectiveness of treatment has been found to reduce pain, termed placebo analgesia. In this study it will be investigated whether this finding translates to the dental clinic. It will be investigated whether information that suggested that minimal pain will be experienced during filling therapy, can reduce the pain associated with that procedure compared to a group that receives standard information. All patients will receive the same amount of anesthesia and similar procedures during filling therapy. It is predicted that extended information should reduce pain, and that the reduction in pain should be associated with a reduction in stress.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard information | Active Comparator | This group is given anesthetics and standard information before dental treatment about the anesthetics. |
|
| Extended information | Experimental | This group is given anesthetics and extended information before dental treatment about the anesthetics. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| anesthetics and extended information before dental treatment | Other | The extended information is a comprehensive explanation about what to expect of the treatment and the anesthetic method, phrased in positive words and opening up for questions after information is given. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Reduction of pain | Pain intensity and pain discomfort will be measured by a VAS (Visual Analog Scale). The patients will report their experience of these factors verbally, four times during the treatment session. | 1 hour |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Reduction of stress | Stress is also measured using the VAS, i.e. using the same method as for pain. Stress or sympathetic activation is measured by using scin conductance on fingers (V-Amp (Brain Products, Munich, Germany). | One hour |
