背景和目的：减少牙科焦虑是牙科就诊中儿童管理的一个主要方面。这项交叉随机临床试验旨在确定薰衣草芳香疗法对儿童牙科治疗期间的焦虑水平和牙科注射期间的疼痛感知的影响。 材料和方法：24名7-9岁的儿童在干预阶段接受薰衣草芳香疗法的恢复性治疗，在对照阶段接受无芳香疗法。两次访视均测量唾液皮质醇和脉搏率来评估儿童的焦虑程度，并使用面部评定量表（FRS）评估注射期间的疼痛感知。结果：唾液皮质醇、脉搏率和FRS评分的治疗效果分别为-8.01 +/- 0.92 nmol/l、-11.17 +/- 1.28（以分钟为单位）和-2.00 +/- 0.41，具有统计学意义显着（P < 0.001）。结论：薰衣草芳香疗法可以减少牙科焦虑和牙科环境中的疼痛。
Background and purpose: Reducing dental anxiety is a major aspect of childmanagement in dental visits. This crossover randomized clinical trial was designed to determine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on anxiety level during dental treatment and pain perception during dental injection in children.Materials and methods: Twenty-four children aged 7-9 years received restorative treatment with lavender aromatherapy in the intervention session and without aroma in the control session. Salivary cortisol and pulse rate were measured to evaluate child's anxiety level and the Face Rating Scale (FRS) was used for assessing the pain perception during injection in both visits.Results: The treatment effect on salivary cortisol, pulse rate, and FRS score was-8.01 +/- 0.92 nmol/l,-11.17 +/- 1.28 (in minutes), and-2.00 +/- 0.41 respectively, which was statistically significant (P < 0.001).Conclusion: Lavender aromatherapy can decrease dental anxiety and experienced pain in dental setting.
