Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the Dental Anxiety Coping Module (DACM) in children with dental anxiety. The main questions to answer are:

1. Will the Dental Anxiety Coping Module has any effect on dental anxiety in primary school children based on MY-ACDAS and HRV-Biofeedback?
2. Is there any difference in dental anxiety between control and intervention group on baseline and post-test measured with MY-ACDAS?
3. Is there any difference in dental anxiety between control and intervention group on baseline, during and post-test measured with and HRV-Biofeedback?

Detailed Description

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

Dental Anxiety Coping Module (DACM) is a combination of Dental Tour and Expressive Art Therapy. Participants will be randomised into 2 groups, Control group and Intervention group (with DACM). Control group will have dental procedure without any intervention. While the Intervention group will start with dental tour where they will be shown around the dental clinic followed by Expressive Art Therapy where they will have collage and finger painting done. After DACM, participants will continue with the same dental procedure as the control group.

Study Groups

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

Control group

Baseline MY-ACDAS and HRV-Biofeedback assessment followed with dental procedures (dental charting and oral prophylaxis). HRV-Biofeedback will be recorded during dental procedures. Once completed, post dental procedures assessment of MY-ACDAS and HRV-Biofeedback will be recorded.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Intervention group

Baseline MY-ACDAS and HRV-Biofeedback assessment followed Dental Anxiety Coping Module. The participants will continue with dental procedures (dental charting and oral prophylaxis). HRV-Biofeedback will be recorded during dental procedures. Once completed, post dental procedures assessment of MY-ACDAS and HRV-Biofeedback will be recorded.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dental Anxiety Coping Module

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Dental tour where participants will be introduced to the dental clinic setting while Expressive Art Therapy, participants will engage with activity of making collage and finger painting.
