摘要
相关性。自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的牙科治疗需要改变传统的治疗环境,其中包括许多影响这些儿童行为的感官刺激。然而,要在临床实践中消除所有牙科治疗刺激是不可能的。本研究旨在使用开发的移动应用程序调查 ASD 儿童在牙科治疗前和治疗过程中的合作和焦虑程度。43名年龄在7至12岁之间、患有严重程度不等的经确诊的自闭症儿童参与了研究。在牙科治疗前和治疗过程中,使用手机应用程序根据 Larry L. Venham 临床焦虑评分量表对患有 ASD 的儿童的合作和焦虑程度进行了评估。在牙科治疗过程中,轻度/中度自闭症儿童的焦虑水平明显下降(P < 0.05),合作性也有所改善,这表明开发的移动应用程序对焦虑水平和合作性有积极影响。有必要开展进一步研究,以评估类似的信息和通信技术类型,作为对弱势儿童进行感官剥夺、行为改善和牙科治疗效果的重要方法的一部分。
Mobile application for sensory deprivation of neurodiverse children during dental treatment
Relevance. Dental care for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) requires modification of the conventional treatment setting, which includes many sensory stimuli that influence the behaviour of these children. However, it is not possible to eliminate all dental treatment stimuli from clinical practice. The development of a new method for digital priming of neurodiverse patients was facilitated by the need to mitigate unavoidable dental treatment stimuli to achieve sensory deprivation, expressed as reduced anxiety and improved cooperation.The study aimed to investigate the level of cooperation and anxiety in children with ASD before and during dental treatment using a developed mobile application.Material and Methods. Forty-three children aged 7 and 12 years old with con-firmed ASD of varying severity participated in the study. The cooperation and anxiety level in children with ASD were assessed according to the Larry L. Venham clinical anxiety rating scale before and during treatment using the mobile application.Results. During dental treatment, the children with mild/moderate autism showed a statistically significant (p < 0.05) decrease in their anxiety level and improvement of the cooperativeness profile, which indicates a positive effect of the developed mobile application on the level of anxiety and cooperation.Conclusion. Further research is necessary to evaluate similar information and communication technology types as a part of significant approaches to sensory deprivation, behaviour improvement, and dental treatment outcomes in vulnerable children.
