The objective of the present study is to determine the effect of sensory adapted dental environment (SADE) in healthy children during a routine dental restorative treatment. The hypothesis is that the SADE would have a favorable effect in calming the subjects during dental treatment.
the study is a random cross-over design. The participants will be randomly assigned into two groups. Group 1 will initially be treated under SADE (Time 1) and receive regular dental environment (RDE) on the second encounter (Time 2). For the second group, the procedure is reversed (RDE at Time 1 and SADE at Time 2).

| SADE | Other | The SADE: the sensory stimuli addressed are visual and auditory, as follows: (i) Visual sensation. All ceiling fluorescent lighting are removed. The adapted lighting consisted of slow-moving, repetitive visual color effects created by a projector, in the child's visual field. (ii) Auditory stimuli include rhythmic music, which was heard via loudspeakers. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Physiologic arousal states | Evaluated by palmar electrodermal activity (EDA) during dental treatment | Data will be reported through study completion, an average of 2 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Houpt Scale | Rating patient behavior during treatment according to Houpt scale. The Houpt scale is a tool used to assess a child's behavior during dental sedation according to specific categories and scores including: sleep (1-awake, 2-drowsy, disoriented), movement (1-violent, 2-continuous, 3-controllable, 4-no movement), cry (1-hysterical, 2-continuous, 3-intermittent, 4-no cry), and overall behavior (1-treatment aborted, 2-poor, 3-regular, 4-good, 5-very good, 6-excellent). |
