To evaluate the efficacy of different techniques for the reduction of dental anxiety in pediatric patients. Generally, anxiety amongst paediatric patients is higher as compared to adult patients. So different modalities are used by the dentists in order to reduce the anxiety of such patient to help to make treatment procedures easier and optimal.
Children who suffer from dental anxiety avoid any sort of dental treatment provided to them, which leads to poor oral hygiene, and if unaddressed, problems like missing teeth and decayed teeth further in life develop, and ultimately leading to problems making treatment planning intricate. Children normally follow the footsteps of their parents so it is of importance to consider how to avoid creating dental anxiety among them. If dental anxiety is left untreated, it might persist during adulthood, which eventually will deteriorate the oral health of such patients. Due to the substantial effect of dental anxiety in paediatric patients, many methods have been devised to alleviate or eliminate such anxieties of the patients. This study aimed to employ different strategies and measure heart rate and Facial Image Scale scores to determine their efficacy in reducing paediatric patient's dental anxiety by using these techniques before and after the procedure to compare the effectiveness of each of these techniques.
