Official title
Effectiveness of Audiovisual Distraction and Acuapoint Stimulation on Anxiety and Pain Perception During Tooth Extraction in Children: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study.
Overview
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of audiovisual distraction and acuapoint stimulation on anxiety and pain perception during tooth extraction in children.
Interventions
- Device Acualief
Aculief acupressure device will be placed on the LI4 Point (figure 1) which is located on the hand between the thumb and index finger, also described as the depression where the index finger and thumb bone go apart. The LI4 point will be identified in each patient by asking the patient to adduct the thumb and index finger. The duration will be 5 minutes before LA administration. The administration of local anesthesia in all groups will be achieved by 1.8 ml of 2% Lidocaine with 1/100,000 epinep - Device Audiovisual
A dental video story will be presented to the patient using an iPad device connected to a noise cancellation headphone. - Behavioral TELL SHOW DO
This group will be treated using Tell-show-do technique
Primary outcome measures
- Anxiety [Time frame: Will be measured 5 minutes before LA , immediately before extraction and immediately after extraction The total VPT score was obtained by summing the values across all eight panels, with higher scores indicating greater levels of anxiety (range: 0-8).]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Pain of the patient [Time frame: Will be evaluated immediately after the local anesthesia and tooth extraction using Wong Baker FACES Pain rating scale, ranging from a no pain (score 0) to one showing severe pain (score 5)]
