Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected Outcome 1: It is expected that sedation with Passiflora incarnata L. will be safe and effective in a manner similar to sedation with nitrous oxide/oxygen, as assessed by the evaluation of anxiety using the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale - Faces (MCDASf) and monitoring of heart rate. With a magnitude difference of 20% between the two proposed anxiety control protocols and a standard deviation of 30% from the mean, 15 volunteers were required for the study to provide a statistical power of 95%, with a significance level of 5%.;Outcome found 1: It was observed that sedation with Passiflora incarnata L. was safe and effective in a manner similar to sedation with nitrous oxide/oxygen. This was confirmed by the comparison of the two groups, which was not statistically significant (p=0.19) according to the Mann-Whitney test referring to the MCDASf scale, and by the mean of heart rates confirmed by the two-way ANOVA test (p=0.32).
