简要总结
This study is an analytical cross-sectional observational comparative study designed to evaluate the agreement between an Artificial Intelligence (AI)–based emotion detection application and the Facial Image Scale (FIS) in assessing dental anxiety among children aged 6–12 years attending their first dental visit. A total of 40 participants will be assessed twice—before treatment in the waiting area and after completion of the dental visit. Anxiety levels recorded through FIS (self-reported pictorial scale) will be compared with AI-detected emotion scores derived from facial analysis. The primary outcome measure will be the level of agreement and correlation between FIS scores and AI-based scores. The secondary outcomes will include changes in anxiety levels before and after treatment and the feasibility of using AI-based assessment in a clinical pediatric dental setting.
