Aim of the study To evaluate the effectiveness of sweet orange oil inhalation in reducing dental anxiety and pain in children undergoing local anaesthetic administration.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Research Question:

Can sweet orange oil help to overcome dental anxiety and pain in children undergoing local anaesthetic administration?

PICO approach:

* P: Children 8 to 12 years old need dental treatment under local anesthesia.
* I: Sweet Orange oil inhalation.
* C: Without aromatherapy.
* O:

Primary Outcome Dental Anxiety Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale - Faces version \[MCDAS(f)-simplified\] Pulse rate

Secondary Outcome

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The two parallel groups will receive the maxillary anaesthesia injection by the same operator.

In the pre-operative period, MCDAS(f), a self-report measure of anxiety will be recorded for all the children.

Measuring preoperative dental anxiety (expressed by heart rate) using pulse oximeter

For Group A (sweet orange oil group): Aromatherapy with inhalers will be carried out, The children will be asked to inhale the aroma from the inhaler For Group B (Control Group): No aromatherapy inhalation . Administration of topical anesthesia . Administration of local anesthesia . After LA administration, Wong-Baker pain rating scale (WBS) will be recorded as a self report measure of pain for all the children.

After LA administration, anxiety will be recorded again using MCDAS(f) for all the children.

Measuring postoperative dental anxiety (expressed by heart rate ) using pulse oximeter.
Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Investigators
Blinding of the operator and the patients will not be feasible due to the difference between the used techniques. However, the statistician will be blinded.

Study Groups
