“…A manifestação do estresse no atendimento odontológico pode assumir diversas formas, como choro, transpiração nas mãos, tentativa de escapar e agitação, sendo mais comum em crianças pequenas. Além disso, alguns autores afirmam que o tipo de procedimento a ser realizado também exerce influência na reação estressante (POP-JORDANOVA, 2019;GOMES et al, 2022). O estudo destaca que a idade da criança é um fator relevante para compreender esse comportamento, sendo observado que quanto mais velha a criança, menor a demonstração de estresse.…”

A condição socioeconômica, demográfica pode influenciar e os fatores psicossociais, como medo, ansiedade e estresse durante atendimento odontológico tem sido objetos de estudos na literatura científica. Com isso, foi realizado um estudo clínico transversal, que avaliou o medo, a ansiedade e o estresse e a relação destes fatores com a condição socioeconômica de crianças de 04 a 12 anos (n=153) atendidas na Clínica de Odontopediatria da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Alfenas (UNIFAL-MG). Os estímulos psicológicos foram avaliados pelos cirurgiões-dentistas por meio da Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), ao final do atendimento. A condição socioeconômica e demográfica de cada família foi avaliada por meio de um questionário socioeconômico respondido pelos responsáveis. Em relação aos estímulos apresentados após as consultas, obteve-se uma média de 1,84 cm (± 2,28) para a ansiedade, 1,45 cm (± 1,93) para o estresse e 1,74 cm (± 2,28) para o medo. A ansiedade (P=0,002), o estresse (P=0,026) e o medo (P=0,001) apresentaram correlação estatisticamente significativa com a idade da criança, mas não apresentaram com escolaridade, trabalho, renda ou moradia (P>0,05). Crianças menores possuem uma tendência em externalizar sentimentos como medo, portanto necessitam de uma abordagem mais lúdica e cautelosa.

“…This approach corresponds to established diagnostic principles in that it uses several methods to enhance the quality of information and avoid misjudgments. Moreover, correlations between self-reported anxiety, behavioral and physiological signs of fear, and parental information are often low [11][12][13][14] and afford additional investigations to understand and evaluate the meaning of these discrepancies. Therefore, in several reviews, self-report questionnaires are emphasized as a gold standard for assessing children's dental anxiety [11,15,16]-not only in children but also for adults [3,17].…”

This study presents a measure to assess dental anxiety in children. To gain a better understanding of children’s fear and anxiety in the dental setting, instruments to gather data with high quality are necessary and missing, especially in the German language. Based upon the facet approach, the Questionnaire to Assess Dental Anxiety in Children (QADA-C) includes items concerning anxiety reactions in thinking, behavior, and feelings in the form of short statements. The item formulation was adapted for children of the target age (9–11 years), and items were presented with pictures of dental situations. Item and reliability analyses in a sample of 1019 children showed the good quality of the instrument (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.89), and the validity indicators revealed its ability to differentiate high-anxiety, low-anxiety, and non-anxious children with an overall sum score. This score was proven to correlate with oral health criteria (decayed/missing/filled teeth, oral health behavior, oral health knowledge). Its easy administration and appropriateness for children make the questionnaire applicable in the dental office for clinical purposes as well as in research contexts.

Ambulatory Sedation for Dental Procedures—Case of Cuenca, Ecuador

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, the dental treatment of children under sedation and/or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis has been developed as a behavioral management model in pediatric dentistry. The objective of this study was to establish the percentage of pediatric patients who required deep sedation on an outpatient basis in dental offices in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. An observational study was conducted with a sample of 450 records of school- and preschool-age patients, where the variables were type and time of treatment, age, and sex. Statistical data were analyzed using the statistical program SPSS V.27 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). The highest percentage of children who received sedation were of preschool age. In general, there were three types of procedures per session, the most frequent being restorations (67%), followed by pulp treatment (49.8%) and, less frequently, minor surgery. The need for sedation for dental procedures is high in preschool patients, and ambulatory sedation has contributed to meeting this need. However, a regulation for its use is required at a national level.
