Abstract:Aim
A reliable tool to visualise children’s early stress signs to prevent dental fear development is needed. The aim was to evaluate the commercially available, CE marked, Shimmer3 GSR + unit’s ability to indicate for stress as a reaction of fear or pain for a non-invasive dental treatment (NI) and an invasive dental treatment (I).
Methods
Patients 14–16 years old were invited to undergo an oral check-up (NI) or an orthodontic premolar extraction (I), resp… Show more
