Abstract

Dental stress is suggested as a main reason for behavioral problems in dentistry, especially in children. Heart rate is a useful measure of dental stress. The purpose of the present study is to examine the effect of dental stress on children receiving restorative treatment under local anesthesia by using recently introduced a wrist-watch type heart rate monitoring device. Eighteen children with no previous dental experience, who needed dental treatment involving local anesthesia, were included in this study. In each session, heart rate was recorded. The largest increase was observed during local anesthesia and the highest values were recorded during preparation. However, no significant relationship was found between the measurements(p > 0.05). Regarding the number of visits, heart rate on the second session is significantly higher than the first session and the third session(p < 0.05). There was no significant different correlation between the first session and third session(p > 0.05). Based on the present study, children who have no previous dental treatment appeared to be more stressed at the second session and need at least 3 sessions to feel less stressed during dental treatment including dental injection.

치과 의사는 어린이들이 치과에서 받는 스트레스로 인해 행동 관리에서 어려움을 주로 겪게 된다. 스트레스에 대한 평가는 생체적 표지자인 심박수를 이용하는 방법이 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 치과에서 침윤 마취를 행한 후 이루어지는 수복 진료에서 아이들이 받는 스트레스 정도를 손목형 심박수 측정 장치를 사용하여 알아보기 위해서 계획되었다. 첫 치과 치료를 받은 어린이에서 심박수 변화는 국소 마취 단계에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 심박수는 치아 삭제에서 가장 높았으나, 단계별 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다(p > 0.05). 이 중 3회 내원하여 치료를 마무리한 어린이에서는, 두 번째 내원의 심박수가 첫 번째 내원과 세 번째 내원에 비해 유의하게 높았으며(p < 0.05), 첫 번째와 세 번째 내원의 심박수는 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다(p > 0.05). 기존 치과 진료 경험이 없는 환아는 국소 마취를 포함한 치과 진료 시 두 번째 내원에서 스트레스를 많이 받는 것으로 생각되며, 치과의 진료 환경에 익숙해지려면 적어도 3회 이상의 내원이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
