Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcomes: Lower levels of previous anxiety and dental pain in children submitted to the atraumatic restorative treatment in two treatment sessions. For assessment of anxiety will be used heart rate (frequency meter) before the procedure and scale FIS faces which comprises a row of five faces, each face has a scaled value of 1 (more positive) to 5 (more negative). For pain assessment will be used heart rate (frequency meter) during the performance of the restorations and the scale of Wong-Baker which comprises a row of six faces, each face represents a variation of pain degree with scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to a 5 (extreme pain). For the realization of the expected outcome will be performed a comparison between responses to pain' and anxiety' scales of the test group and the control group, as well as a comparison between the heart rates (before and during procedures) of both groups. Variation of at least 5% in each scale and heart rate will be considered. ;Found outcomes: The previous anxiety was not different between the two groups (intervention and control) when the intervention group was treated in the first session, but the pain levels were higher in the control group. Scores FIS scale and heart rate before the procedures did not differ between the two groups. The scores of the Wong-Baker scale and heart rate while performing the procedures were higher in the control group. A variation of 5% in the responses FIS escale and heart rate was admitted. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: Higher levels of previous anxiety and pain in the control group in the two treatment sessions. To the evaluate of previous anxiety was used FIS scale and heart rate. For determining the expected outcome will be performed comparing the two answers two groups will be accepted scores greater than 0 and 1 in the FIS scale and heart rate above 110 bpm as a positive response to previous anxiety. a variation of 5% in scale and heart rate was considered. ;Outcome found: Lower previous anxiety levels in the control group in the second treatment session. To evaluate the variable previous anxiety was used FIS scale and heart rate. For determining the expected outcome compared the responses of the two groups. A variation of 5% in scale and heart rate was considered. | — |
