“…Therefore, a non-invasive approach such as distraction may be beneficial. Besides, several studies have shown that the use of audio visual (AV) aids in medical practice when used for short invasive procedures to reduce pain and anxiety of patients [12][13][14]. Nevertheless, there still lies a controversy regarding the effectiveness of AV aids during dental treatment procedures.…”

Aims: Dental anxiety is a relatively common problem and it leads to undesirable distresses, such as postponement or avoidance of dental treatment thereby resulting in poorer quality of treatment and reduced oral health related quality of life. Dental anxiety is especially seen in patients undergoing dental injections. To evaluate the effectiveness of audiovisual distraction in the reduction of dental anxiety during la injection. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Place and duration of study: Patients visiting Penang International Dental College, Malaysia, between June 2017 and July 2018. Methodology: A total of 176 patients (88 female and 88 male) requiring endodontic therapy or tooth extraction were recruited for this study. A 14-question long questionnaire using Hamilton anxiety rating scale; and a separate feedback questionnaire was used to evaluate patients’ anxiety level and the severity of anxiety symptoms. Paired t-test was used to analyze the data. Results: There was a significant reduction in the anxiety scores (p<0.001) of the patients following the use of VR distraction during the la procedure. On an average, the pre-test scores were 1.932 points higher than post-test scores. Conclusion: Virtual reality could be used as a possible non-pharmacologic means of reducing dental anxiety in patients receiving local anesthesia.

“…However, distraction-based non-aversive behavior management techniques seem to have better acceptance by parents. Distraction alters a child’s distress by disrupting attention and helping in the completion of the dental procedure with minimal stress [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Background Dental anxiety has been a major concern for dentists while operating children. For a smooth, uneventful treatment, operators must incorporate various behavior management techniques in their practice. The incorporation of magic tricks as behavior management techniques has been used earlier by physicians and nurses to reduce pre-operative anxiety in hospitals. This study aimed to compare the impacts of magic tricks on reducing dental anxiety in children. Material and methods Patients aged four to 11 years were eligible for inclusion. The study comprised two groups of 15 children each. During the first visit, children weren’t subjected to any behavior management. Behavior management aids (magic tricks and audiovisuals) were used during the second visit. Hemodynamic parameters along with an anxiety scale were used to assess anxiety in children before, during, and after treatment procedures. Venham’s picture test and modified visual analog scale were also used to assess the anxiety. Results A reduction in anxiety was seen in both groups after behavior management was used. The hemodynamic parameters like blood pressure and pulse rate were seen to decrease during the second visit, while the oxygen saturation was seen to increase. Conclusion The study demonstrates that magic trick along with audiovisual aids was effective in controlling dental anxiety. Thus, magic tricks can be used in dental practice as a behavior management aid for children to facilitate cooperative behavior. Reducing a child's dental anxiety through various different magic trick aids could be a potential behavior management modality that needs further research.

A relação comportamental entre o paciente infantil e odontopediatra pode ser consideravelmente traumática, e ansiogênica, sendo por muitas vezes considerada imprevisível devido os fatores externos que podem influenciar essa relação. As técnicas de manejo comportamental são ferramentas de grande importância, com caráter preventivo, e estabilizador do paciente pediátrico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi por meio de uma revisão de literatura apresentar algumas técnicas de manejo comportamental com ênfase nas técnicas: controle de voz, falar-mostrar-fazer, distração e modelagem. Esta revisão bibliográfica da literatura avaliou artigos publicados de 2008 a 2021, relacionados ao manejo comportamental em odontopediatria e sua relação com o medo e ansiedade. Os artigos foram pesquisados nas bases de dados como a Pubmed, Bireme, SciELO, Google Scholar e LILACS. Após leitura inicial dos resumos, foram selecionados 21 artigos que foram lidos na integra e constituem o corpo bibliográfico desta revisão. Conclusão: É de suma importância que o odontopediatra domine os conhecimentos acerca dos fatores psicológicos influenciam no comportamento do paciente, respaldando então a escolha adequada de técnica de manejo comportamental, baseada na individualidade/especificidade de cada paciente.
