Journal Title: Journal of International Dental and Medical Research - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Audiovisual wireless eyeglasses method of distraction (AVD) is able to replace the visual and auditory signals from the environment by a pleasant movie. This method offers the possibility of non-pharmacological sedation in patients undergoing dental treatment. The effect of AVD in four children is reported. The children wore the AVD eyeglasses before the local anesthetic injection and throughout the whole dental procedure. All four children were rated as uncooperative (Frankl 1) before the treatment. During treatment with Audiovisual distraction (AVD) ratings on the Houpt behavior scale showed that the children were very good or excellent ( Houpt 5-6) during all the dental sessions. Satisfaction VAS ratings 0-10 given separately by the children, parents and dentists were between 8-10. AVD is an additional non pharmacologic, easy to use behavior management technique for pediatric dentistry. It may be of benefit especially to uncooperative, very anxious children and prevent pharmacologic means of sedation by offering a pleasurable method without adverse effects.
