Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To explore the clinical application of comfort medical technology in the oral treatment of children with child dental phobia (CDF). Methods: Ninety-four children with CDF were divided into control (Ctrl) group and experimental (Exp) group, with 47 cases in each group. The Ctrl group received traditional restraint treatment, while the Exp group received oral comfort treatment. The levels of fear before and after treatment were compared between two groups, including the children's fear survey schedule-dental subscale (CFSS-DS), the early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS), pain level (using the Wong Baker Facial Expression Scale), and Heart rate variability before and after treatment [using heart rate (HR), low frequency power (LF), high frequency power (HF), and LF/HF]. Results: The CFSS-DS score of children in the Ctrl group significantly increased after treatment, while the ECOHIS score significantly decreased (P<0.05). However, the CFSS-DS score and ECOHIS score in the Exp group were significantly reduced than those before treatment and in the Ctrl group (P<0.05). Compared with the Ctrl group, the pain level of children in Exp group was significantly reduced (P<0.05). HR, LF, and LF/HF levels of the two groups of children before treatment were significantly higher than those at the time of diagnosis, while the HF levels were significantly lower than those at the time of diagnosis, and the changes in the above indicators in the Exp group were smaller than those in the Ctrl group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the levels of HR, LF, and LF/HF in the Exp group decreased after treatment compared to those before treatment and the Ctrl group, the HF level was significantly higher than that before treatment and in the Ctrl group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Comfortable medical technology can not only reduce the fear and pain level of children with CDF, improve oral related quality of life, but also reduce changes in heart rate variability and improve comfort.
