عنوان انگلیسی Assessment of Discomfort Experienced by School Children While Performing ‘ART’ and ‘MCP’-An Experimental Study
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Objective: Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) is a minimal intervention technique in the management of carious lesions, which results in negligible dis-comfort to the patient. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the dis-comfort levels during Atraumatic Restorative Treatment and Minimal Cavity Preparation (MCP: a method using rotary instruments) treatment procedures in a sample of school children in Davangere city. Materials and Methods: An experimental study was performed aimed at com-paring discomfort levels as measured by subjective (Venham index) and objective (Heart rate) methods at six specified moments during the treatment. A total of 200 children were randomly divided into two groups of 100 each. In each child, one class II restoration with GIC in a deciduous molar was performed. One group re-ceived treatment using rotary instruments (MCP) and the other group with ART. Discomfort levels were measured using Venham index (behavioural dimension) and heart rate (physiological dimension). Results: The behavioural measurement revealed that in ART group the majority of the children(64%) showed an overall Venham score of „<1‟(relaxed) as com-pared to MCP group in which the majority of children (76%) showed a Venham score of „1‟(uneasy). The physiological measurement revealed that the children in ART group experienced less discomfort when compared to children in MCP group. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that ART induces less discomfort; is patient friendly and has a higher extent of community acceptance when compared to MCP. Key Words: ART; Minimal Cavity Preparation; Discomfort; Venham Index; Heart Rate; Anxiety
