Abstract

Background: The study introduces novel camouflage sleeves for the 'Dental Syringe Camouflage Technique' (DSCT) as a distraction tool to reduce dental anxiety and pain in paediatric patients while evaluating its efficacy.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of DSCT using light-/dark-coloured sleeves to reduce needle-associated anxiety and pain in paediatric dental patients.

Design: A single-blinded, randomized clinical trial with 76 children aged 6-9 years, divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group was further divided based on sleeve colour. Anxiety was assessed using a self-reported scale, and vital signs were monitored. Local anaesthesia (LA) was administered using conventional dental syringes (CoDSs) or camouflaged dental syringes (CaDSs). Postintervention, self-reported pain was also recorded. Data analysis compared groups and pre- and postintervention observations.

Results: A significant reduction in children's self-reported anxiety was observed in the experimental group compared to the control, with no significant differences in perceived pain. Children with lighter sleeves showed a greater decrease in anxiety scores than those with darker ones.

Conclusions: Camouflage sleeves for LA syringes reduced anxiety during administration but did not significantly impact reported pain. Lighter sleeves were more effective. No significant changes were observed in pulse rate (PR) or blood pressure (BP) with the use of CaDSs.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide. International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
