简要总结
This study evaluates the efficacy of Camouflage syringe vs Conventional syringe in reducing Dental Anxiety and increasing behaviour rating.Half of the participants received local anesthesia using camouflaged syringe, while others received using conventional syringe.
详细描述
Dental anxiety and phobia result in avoidance of dental care. Since the injection itself can be painful, pain reduction procedures warrant continued investigation. Camouflage design deals with the visual impact of the needle and syringe though the tactile sensation remains unaltered. In our study, post treatment anxiety levels in camouflaged syringe was reduced as compared to conventional syringe group and this might be because, patients with low anxiety tend to have high pain thresholds.

结局指标
主要结局
Anxiety levels by using the Chotta Bheem and Chutki scale
时间窗: after 5 minutes
Anxiety levels in both camouflaged group and conventional group in the children were scored before and after the procedure using the Chotta Bheem and Chutki scale. The Chotta Bheem and Chutki (CBC) scale comprises two separate cards: one for boys and the other for girls. The cartoon characters of Chotta Bheem and Chutki were chosen to depict various emotions for boys and girls respectively. Each card consists of a series of six figures depicting sequentially various emotions from 'happy' to 'unhappy and running away' of the cartoon character. Score 1 is happy face, score 2 is sad face, score 3 is crying face, score 4 is angry face, score 5 is shouting and score 6 is running. So, here, score 1 depicts patient is happy whereas as score increases anxiety level also increases which denotes that patient is unhappy.
次要结局
- Behavior rating by using Frankel Behaviour rating scale(after 10 minutes)
