Comparison of the Effect of Watching Dental and Non-Dental-Related Animations on Pain and Anxiety in 6-8 Year Old Children During Mandibular Nerve Block Injection

Comparing the effect of animations related and not related to dentistry on the amount of pain and anxiety of 6-8 year old children during mandibular nerve block injection.

Clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, on 48 patients. A simple individual method was used for randomization.

For patients referring to the pediatric department of Zahedan Dental School, a profile form will be filled. In the first group, from 15 minutes before the start of the treatment, the related animation will be played, in the second group, from 15 minutes before the start of the treatment, an unrelated animation will be played (in a quiet environment) and in the third group, no animation will be played for the child (control group). ). For the purpose of blinding in this research, the operator, evaluator, and patient will be unaware of the type of intervention. Children will be included in the intervention group by a dental student and will be monitored during the research process.

Children referred to Zahedan pediatric department who are 6 to 8 years old, the patient is not sensitive to anesthetics, the presence of at least one molar requires non-emergency treatment and mandibular occupational therapy, the absence of a history of special diseases and being healthy, having normal intelligence. , Frankel grade 3 and 4, the patient has no history of dental treatment and no previous observation of any of the two animations used in this study will be included in the study, and the non-entry is Frankel grade 1 and 2 and the use of any pain reliever and have sedation 48 hours before injection

First intervention group: related animation The second intervention group: irrelevant animation Control group: no animation

Level of anxiety; intensity of pain

People were divided into three blocks of 8. Each block corresponded to one of three groups of related animation, unrelated animation, and control, into which subjects were assigned by selecting sealed envelopes. Randomization method: limited (block). This method is used to create groups with equal numbers Randomization Unit: Individual Layers of randomization in case of using layered randomization: none Randomization tool: sealed envelope Creating a random sequence using Random allocation software Opaque sealed envelopes with random sequence are used for concealment. In this method, a number of letter envelopes are prepared with aluminum foil (for the lack of clarity of the contents of the envelopes), and each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card and the cards are placed inside the letter envelopes in order. In order to preserve the random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes is numbered in the same order. Finally, the lid of the letter envelopes is glued and placed in a box in order. Then the participants take one of the letter envelopes and open them, and the assigned group of that participant is revealed.

Before entering the therapy department, children enter the room to watch the animation and then enter the therapy department with or without watching the animation. Therefore, the outcome assessor and the therapist are not aware of the conditions and do not have the right to question the child in this regard. Also, due to the coding of questionnaires and not determining the type of intervention, the analyst does not know the ratio of the study groups.
