“…Thus, further research is required to objectively support the reduction of anxiety during dental treatment through the use of hypnosis as a complement to other anxiety reduction techniques [15]. Similarly, as there is no evidence that hypnosis, on its own, is capable of producing an anesthetic effect for dental procedures, it should always be combined with local anesthetic techniques or as a complement to sedation or general anesthetic techniques [15]. …”

“…It is one of the options being used in dentistry as a method to help the anxious subject relax [14] and could be used to improve the level of patient cooperation by increasing confidence itself [12]. Recently, dentistry is one of the medical fields more accepting of hypnosis, as it has been very effective in controlling “toothache”; furthermore it is being used in oral surgery as a complement to anesthesia, with its main tools being suggestion and speech [15]. For this reason, hypnosis is an option for reducing the anxiety or pain associated with infiltration anesthesia and, together with the standard behavior management techniques used in pediatric dentistry, could be useful for the management of pediatric patient behavior during dental treatment.…”

Background and Objective. Anxiety/pain are experiences that make dental treatment difficult for children, especially during the time of anesthesia. Hypnosis is used in pediatric clinical situations to modify thinking, behavior, and perception as well as, recently, in dentistry; therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnosis combined with conventional behavior management techniques during infiltration anesthetic. Methods. Anxiety/pain were assessed with the FLACC scale during the anesthetic moment, as well as heart rate variability and skin conductance before and during the anesthetic moment, between the control and experimental group. Results. A marginal statistical difference (p = 0.05) was found in the heart rate between baseline and anesthetic moment, being lower in the hypnosis group. No statistically significant differences were found with the FLACC scale or in the skin conductance (p > 0.05). Conclusion. Hypnosis combined with conventional behavior management techniques decreases heart rate during anesthetic infiltration showing that there may be an improvement in anxiety/pain control through hypnotic therapy.

“…Ayrıca diş çekimi öncesi yapılan enjeksiyon işlemi de literatürde en çok anksiyete yaratan durumlardan biri olarak rapor edilmektedir (4,13). Diş çekimine bağlı oluşan anksiyete ve korkuyu etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesine yönelik pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Fakat literatürde diş çekimi işleminin hemen ya da randevulu yapılmasının dental anksiyete ve korku üzerine etkinliğinin değerlendirildiği çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır.…”

The estimated prevalence of extreme dental fear and anxiety is 40% among the adult population. Patient expressed fear of the dentist is rarely used in clinical practice to assess patient concerns. The present study was carried out to identify the risk factors associated to fear of the dentist and the frequency of visits to the dental clinic. The study comprised 98 subjects visiting a private dental clinical in Seville (Spain). Dental fear was measured: (How afraid are you of visiting the dentist? a. not at all, b. little c. a lot). Demographic data were collected assessed based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD), while dental fear was evaluated using the Dental Fear Questionnaire (CMD). These evaluations were made before dental treatment was carried out. Results revealed that four dimensions of the CMD were considered: A. accidental care, b. attitude of the dentist, c. neglect and d. organization. Only the dimensions of attitude of the dentist (OR = 2.4 (95% CI: 1.1-5.4); p = 0.02) and neglect (OR = 5.3 (95% CI: 2.0-13.1); p = 0.0001), together with the levels of anxiety (OR = 1.3 (95% CI: 1.3-1.7); p = 0.01), were independently associated to the presence of dental fear. None of the variables were associated to the frequency of visits to the dentist. Results further revealed that the dentist dimensions of attitude and anxiety were associated to fear of visiting the dentist.
