In the researchers' words
Dental anxiety causes unwanted distresses in children. The present study is aimed to analyze using both technological and psychological distraction in children aged 4-10 with a humanoid robot. Materials and Methods: One hundred and two children (fifty two girls, fifty boys; mean age: 6.71±1.43 years) were included. Fifty children were participated in robot group and fifty two children were participated in control. Salivary alpha amylase were analyzed before, after, and 10 min after treatment. Frankl Behaviour Rating Scale (FBRS), Facial Image Scale (FIS), salivary amylase levels, and physiological pulse rate were used to assess the stress related changes. Statistical tests were used with p value fixed at 0.05.
