Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the behavior of moderately sedated pediatric patients treated using rubber dam (RD) or IsoVac isolation. Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed for patients who underwent restorative procedures under moderate sedation. Behavioral and Frankl scores were evaluated to determine which isolation technique (RD or IsoVac) resulted in better behavior outcomes. Results: A total of 112 charts were reviewed from October 2019 to May 2021. Fifty- one patients were treated with RD isolation and 61 with IsoVac. Behavioral and Frankl scores were analyzed and showed that RD isolation was associated with better behavior at the time of placement as well as a better overall sedation Frankl score in comparison to IsoVac (P <0.05). Conclusions: This study showed an association between RD isolation and better behavior during moderate sedation when compared to the IsoVac.
期刊介绍:
Acquired after the merger between the American Society of Dentistry for Children and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry in 2002, the Journal of Dentistry for Children (JDC) is an internationally renowned journal whose publishing dates back to 1934. Published three times a year, JDC promotes the practice, education and research specifically related to the specialty of pediatric dentistry. It covers a wide range of topics related to the clinical care of children, from clinical techniques of daily importance to the practitioner, to studies on child behavior and growth and development. JDC also provides information on the physical, psychological and emotional conditions of children as they relate to and affect their dental health.
