Study Summary

This study is a randomized clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of a Sensory Adapted Dental Environment (SADE) alone and together with a video-based modeling (VBM) component (VBM-SADE), compared to a regular dental environment (RDE) and/or VBM alone, to reduce anxiety, distress behavior, pain, and sensory discomfort during a dental cleaning in children with and without dental fear and anxiety.

Primary Outcome

Electrodermal Activity (EDA; skin conductance level \[SCL\]) reflects the activation of the sympathetic 'fight or flight' nervous system and is well-documented to increase in stressful or painful situations. A BIOPAC MP160 System will be used to record the child's EDA. The child will relax in dental chair for three minutes in order to obtain a resting baseline EDA measurement, followed by EDA recording for the duration of the dental cleaning.
