Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of parental presence on dental anxiety in children during dental treatments.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted with 194 children between January-April, 2020. The children were randomly divided into two subgroups. Children in group-I were treated in parent's presence (pp), and in group-II in parent's absence (pa). The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS) and The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) were used for subjective measurements, whereas the objective measurement was performed by measuring the heart rate.

Results: The mean age of 194 children was 6.26 ± 1.15 years, ranging from 5-8 years of age. The mean MDAS score of all children was 15.1 ± 4.72. No significant correlations were found in terms of dental anxiety between the children's gender and age with heart rate, WBFPS and MDAS scores. Preoperative WBFPSscores (6.83 ± 1.04 pp and 7.01 ± 0.93 pa) were higher than postoperative scores (5.34 ± 2.11 pp and 5.74 ± 2.04 pa), with no statistically significant difference. Although there was no statistically significant results, the paediatric dentist observed a deterioration in the children's behavior throughout the sessions in group-II compared to children in group-I.

Conclusions: Parental presence has no statistically significant effect on dental anxiety in children during dental treatments.

父母在场对儿童首次牙科治疗期间焦虑的影响。

目的：本研究旨在评估父母在场对儿童牙科治疗期间牙科焦虑的影响。材料和方法：该研究于2020年1月至4月对194名儿童进行。孩子们被随机分为两组。第一组的儿童在父母在场（pp）的情况下接受治疗，第二组的儿童则在父母不在场的情况下（pa）接受治疗。Wong Baker FACES疼痛评定量表（WBFPS）和改良牙科焦虑量表（MDAS）用于主观测量，而客观测量通过测量心率进行。结果：194名儿童的平均年龄为6.26岁 ± 1.15 年龄，5-8岁年龄。所有儿童的MDAS平均得分为15.1 ± 4.72.儿童的性别和年龄与心率、WBFPS和MDAS评分之间的牙科焦虑没有显著相关性。术前WBFPS评分（6.83 ± 1.04页和7.01页 ± 0.93 pa）高于术后评分（5.34 ± 第2.11页和第5.74页 ± 2.04 pa），差异无统计学意义。尽管没有统计学上显著的结果，但儿科牙医观察到，与I组的儿童相比，II组的儿童在整个疗程中的行为有所恶化。结论：在牙科治疗期间，父母的存在对儿童的牙科焦虑没有统计学上显着的影响。
