“…One final observation by the students was the stressful impact of formal healthcare providers’ clothing and the white lab coats on the children. Interestingly, the ‘white coat effect’ has been reported in the literature and studies have shown that a clinician’s appearance is one of the factors that play a role in nonverbal communication within the child–physician relationship, and that casual or colourful and decorated attire is preferred over the traditional white coat in reducing the apprehension and stress levels of the patients [ 26 ].…”

Dental Students’ Perceptions before and after Attending a Centre for Children with Special Needs: A Qualitative Study on Situated Learning

Objectives: To develop an in-depth understanding of the perceptions and experiences of senior dental students before and after fieldwork visits to a centre for children with special needs. Methods: A qualitative study utilised open-ended questions and involved 39 fifth-year dental students. A thematic analysis of the collected responses was undertaken, and a hierarchy of themes and subthemes were developed. Results: Analysis of the pre-visit responses revealed three main themes and a number of subthemes: ‘negative expectations’, ‘positive expectations’, and ‘pain expectations’. Similarly, four main themes with a number of subthemes emerged from the post-visit responses: ‘positive perceptions’, ‘negative perceptions’, ‘oral problems observed’, and ‘recommendations’. Conclusions: Within the study limits, different perspectives were extracted. Prior to the fieldwork visit, students expressed their lack of self-confidence and inadequate preparation. Following the situated learning visit experience, students’ perceptions of managing special needs children was positively influenced. Students were happy to be exposed to such an experience, but hoped for better organisation and specialised supervision in the future.

“…Os estudos envolvendo a avaliação do medo odontológico tornaram-se mais relevantes, à medida que suas várias consequências passaram a ser melhor compreendidas pela comunidade científica (37). Pesquisas prévias confirmaram que crianças com medo odontológico apresentaram pior condição de saúde bucal (18,28), posto que uma saúde bucal precária aumenta a chance de dor dentária, ou pode resultar em uma experiência odontológica negativa (38), o que pode reforçar a ocorrência do medo odontológico (28). É importante, portanto, que sejam identificados os fatores associados ao medo odontológico, para reduzir as consequências geradas pela condição, adotando-se, para isso, uma abordagem adequada.…”

“…As pesquisas transversais se configuraram no desenho de estudo mais utilizado (1,8,9,12,14,(16)(17)(18)(20)(21)(22)(23)(25)(26)(27)29,30,(32)(33)(34)(35). Esse tipo de estudo possibilita determinar o perfil da doença ou condição, fornece informações que determinarão o planejamento de serviços de saúde e são úteis para gerar hipóteses que podem ser confirmadas por meio de desenhos de estudo mais rigorosos, além de serem menos onerosos e mais rápidos (41).…”

“…Deve-se estimular a realização de pesquisas que podem inferir sobre a relação de causa-efeito entre o medo odontológico e a cárie dentária, pois a identificação de fatores de risco pode ajudar na definição de estratégias mais apropriadas. O medo odontológico pode ser mensurado através da utilização de vários métodos e, nesse estudo, o questionário mais utilizado foi o Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (1,8,9,18,21,22,(33)(34)(35)(36), com os respondentes sendo as próprias crianças. O CFSS-DS é um instrumento largamente utilizado, para medir o medo odontológico em crianças (10), tendo sido validado em países como Holanda (42), Finlândia (43), Japão (44), Grécia (45), China (46), Índia (47) e Brasil (6), entre outros.…”

O medo odontológico é um problema grave que afeta negativamente a saúde bucal. Esta revisão crítica da literatura objetivou identificar os estudos existentes sobre o medo odontológico associado à experiência de cárie dentária em crianças. Tratou-se de estudo bibliográfico realizado nas bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science e Scopus, por meio dos artigos indexados até outubro de 2019. Os termos utilizados foram: “Dental fear”, “Dental anxiety”, “Dental caries” e “Children”. As informações coletadas foram: autor, o ano de publicação, país, desenho do estudo, número amostral, faixa etária (em anos), o instrumento utilizado para avaliar o medo odontológico e os principais resultados. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se o Microsoft Excel, sendo apresentados descritivamente. Foram obtidos 533 artigos e 28 foram incluídos. A maioria dos estudos foram realizados por pesquisadores brasileiros (32,1%). O número de participantes variou de 99 a 2734 crianças. A idade mais frequente foi de 12 anos (59,3%) e o instrumento mais utilizado foi o questionário Children’s Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) (32,1%), com os respondentes sendo as próprias crianças (82,1%). A prevalência de medo odontológico variou de 5,2% a 66,0%, e os valores de escore médio variaram de 1,50 a 37,0. Os estudos sobre o medo odontológico associado à experiência de cárie dentária em crianças foram realizados em maior número no Brasil, utilizando o questionário CFSS-DS. Existe ampla variabilidade na prevalência e valores de escore médio em diferentes países.

“…Thus, by acting on related elements (attitude, general environment, etc) it could be possible to establish an atmosphere of trust in which the concerns of patients would greatly be alleviated. The appearance of the dentist is also be shown to influence the degree of fear in young children . Hence, once again, the need for practitioners to be seriously trained in communication is undisputable.…”

Background: Dental anxiety is a psychological response inducing aversion following a dental ill-defined stimulus, non-imminent and perceived as potentially dangerous. It is better to intervene during childhood than to resolve in adulthood when dental anxiety is more settled. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the nature of dental anxiety-provoking stimuli in young patients. Design: A questionnaire was submitted to 566 children between 3 to 18 years in health institutions and schools in Brussels, Belgium. The items were divided into 3 groups: environment (ENV), local anaesthesia (LA), and intervention (INT) and summarized through averaging per group. Descriptive analysis and non-parametric testing were combined with logistic regression after discretization, above mild, for the group averages. Results: About 7.2% of the respondents expressed high to severe dental anxiety.Several items presented a clear bimodal distribution dividing the population in fearless and fearing patients, for example, sight and feel of the syringe, sight and taste of blood and extraction. Others presented with a gradually lower incidence with increasing fear level. Fear for the environment was generally low. Gender and ethnic origin contribute significantly to the prediction of fear caused by LA. For fear caused by INT, first the place of questioning enters the models, thereafter follow: negative experience, frequency of dental visit, and gender (P < .05). Conclusions: While the dental environment is in general not causing fear, the invasive part of the anaesthesia and the invasive dental procedures are involved. Fear seems to be related to culture, previous experience, and gender. K E Y W O R D Schild, dental anxiety, etiology, pediatric dentistry, stimuli
