| Objective Dental fear and anxiety describe negative feelings towards the dental environment, particularly significant in pediatric dentistry due to their cognitive, behavioral, and physical impacts on children. Managing this anxiety through positive dentist-child relationships and behavioral guidance techniques is crucial. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of passive distraction using music and Bach flower remedy in reducing dental fear and anxiety in children aged 6-8 years.Methods This randomized controlled clinical study included 12 children (n=4 for each group) aged 6-8 years, randomly assigned to Group 1 (control), Group 2 (Bach flower remedy), or Group 3 (passive distraction with music) for treating superficial dentin caries in primary teeth without local anesthesia. Dental fear and anxiety levels were assessed using objective (heart rate, oxygen saturation, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) and subjective (Facial Image Scale and Venham’s Picture Test) measures before and after treatment.Results The study included 12 children (6 female, 6 male) with a mean age of 7.3±0.8 years. In Group 2, heart rate significantly decreased after treatment (97.8 ± 10.1 to 90.5 ± 8.8, p.05).Conclusion In this study, although passive distraction with music and Bach flowers did not have a significant effect on physiological and projective measurement tools in children with dental fear and anxiety, a decrease in heart rate was observed in children exposed to Bach flowers. |
