Abstract
Aim: Patient compliance is of paramount importance for proper dental treatment, which can be difficult to achieve in children due to anxiety and fear, hindering the therapeutic procedure. In addition to well-known sedation methods (pharmacological and nitrous oxide), further methods of approach are being tested, such as hypnotherapy.
Materials: The sample consisted of 150 children (90 males, 60 females). Paper questionnaires, frequency meter, nitrous oxide dispenser in association with the use of the television were exploited. At the end of treatment, subjective pain was assessed using the VAS scale, while objective pain was assessed using the FLACC scale and heart rate. This made it possible to compare two experimental groups, one treated with nitrous oxide, and the other with hypnotherapy. The control group was treated with classic behavioural approach techniques. The results obtained were analysed by SPSS Software (Statistical Package for Social Science, version 27) and the inferences between the results were calculated for confirmation.
Conclusion: Hypnotherapy can be a valid substitute for nitrous oxide in paediatric dentistry.
目的:患者的依从性是至关重要的正确的牙科治疗，这可能很难实现在儿童由于焦虑和恐惧，阻碍治疗过程。除了众所周知的镇静方法(药理学和一氧化二氮)外，还在测试其他方法，如催眠疗法。材料:样本包括150名儿童(男90名，女60名)。利用纸质问卷、频率计、一氧化二氮分配器与电视的使用有关。治疗结束时，采用VAS评分评估主观疼痛，采用FLACC评分和心率评估客观疼痛。这使得比较两组实验组成为可能，一组用氧化亚氮治疗，另一组用催眠治疗。对照组采用经典行为方法治疗。采用SPSS软件(Statistical Package for Social Science, version 27)对所得结果进行分析，并计算结果之间的推论进行确认。结论:催眠疗法可作为一种有效的替代氧化亚氮治疗儿科牙科。
期刊介绍：
The aim and scope of the European Journal of Paediatric Dentistry is to promote research in all aspects of dentistry related to children, including interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs.
