Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Information about the effectiveness of treatment has been found to reduce pain, termed placebo analgesia. In this study it will be investigated whether this finding translates to the dental clinic. It will be investigated whether information that suggested that minimal pain will be experienced during filling therapy, can reduce the pain associated with that procedure compared to a group that receives standard information. All patients will receive the same amount of anesthesia and similar procedures during filling therapy. It is predicted that extended information should reduce pain, and that the reduction in pain should be associated with a reduction in stress.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard information

This group is given anesthetics and standard information before dental treatment about the anesthetics.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

anesthetics and standard information before dental treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

The standard information is short and concise, telling in neutral words what to expect.

Extended information

This group is given anesthetics and extended information before dental treatment about the anesthetics.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

anesthetics and extended information before dental treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

The extended information is a comprehensive explanation about what to expect of the treatment and the anesthetic method, phrased in positive words and opening up for questions after information is given.
