치과 치료를 위한 국소 마취 중 치료견이 어린이의 불안과 행동에 미치는 영향
국소 마취 중 치료견이 소아 치과 환자의 불안과 행동에 미치는 영향: 무작위 대조 시험
Therapy dogs in dental offices might help anxious children during dental care. Therapy dogs might help children during injection of local anesthetic, when we inject numbing medication before working on the teeth. The goal of this study is to learn if having a therapy dog with a child during the injection of numbing medication helps children to be more comfortable at the dentist's office. This study is of children who need dental care using local anesthesia. Study participant's behavioral reactions and heart rate during injection of local anesthetic with and without having a therapy dog present will be recorded and children and their guardians will be asked a few short questions about the injection and therapy dog after injection.
연구 개요
상세 설명
Children undergoing dental restorative or surgical procedures require injection of local anesthetic. The injection procedure is often the most anxiety-producing stimulus for children during dental care, when children demonstrate the highest level of emotional distress. Several studies have investigated various interventions, such as distraction, hypnosis, and cognitive behavioral therapy to ease this stress. Animal-assisted therapy (e.g. the presence of a therapy dog) may be a promising strategy for managing anxiety in young dental patients. However, no studies have explored the potential benefits of using therapy dogs specifically during the administration of local anesthesia in pediatric dental patients. The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of therapy dogs on pediatric dental patients during local anesthesia administration.

Standard-of-care basic behavior guidance during local anesthesia |
Basic behavior guidance as defined by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry includes strategies to help children cope through potentially stressful dental procedures. These strategies include tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, parental presence, and nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia, among others. |
|
실험적: Therapy dog presence
Therapy dog present during local anesthesia administration |
A trained therapy dog will be present during the child's dental appointment. The dog will be in the operatory as the child enters the room and will lie on the child during injection of local anesthesia. |

Behavior (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability scale)
기간: Every 30 seconds from entry into the operatory through one-minute following injection of local anesthesia
|
The subject's behavior from entry into the operatory through one minute following administration of local anesthesia will be evaluated and recorded using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale, with each category scored from 0 to 2. The higher the total score, which ranges from 0 to 10, indicates more distress. |

Anxiety assessment (Modified Faces version of the Modified Child Dental Anxiety scale)
기간: Upon entering the operatory and after administration of local anesthesia
|
The subject will be asked to complete an anxiety assessment using the revised modified faces version of the modified child dental anxiety scale (MCDASF). This questionnaire has two questions which are each answered on a five-point scale (range 1-5 for each question for a total range of 2-10). Higher values represent more distress. |

Parent questionnaire
기간: Following injection of local anesthetic
|
The subject's parent will be asked four questions regarding their child's anxiety and the therapy dog (if present). These four questions are not scaled. The questions are: Do you think your child was anxious for local anesthesia? Y/N; Do you think the therapy dog reduced your child's dental anxiety during local anesthesia? Yes/No; Would you want a therapy dog present for future dental treatment appointments? Yes/No; How do you think your child fees post-local anesthesia? Very Anxious/Anxious/Neutral/Calm/Very Calm. |
