Evaluation of electrodermal activity during endodontic diagnostic procedure in patients with limited communication: An in vivo study

The aim of the study is to explore whether electrodermal activity (EDA) can serve as a complementary tool for pulpal diagnosis. The main objective of the study is to evaluate electrodermal activity (EDA) activity during endodontic diagnostic procedure in patients with good communication and patients with limited communication. Patients coming to the out-patient department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, St. Joseph Dental College and Hospital, Duggirala, Eluru and patients coming to the out-patient department of dental wing, Asram Medical College, Eluru are taken into consideration. Informed consent will be taken from patients who can communicate effectively on their own and those who are unable to do so will be taken from their parents/ guardians. Patients will be categorized based on Corah’s dental anxiety scale. Electrodermal activity during endodontic diagnostic procedures will be evaluated in both the groups and the results will be statistically analyzed.
