About this trial
The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether aromatherapy and digital anesthesia are effective in reducing dental anxiety and pain during tooth extraction in children. The study also aims to understand how these methods influence children's comfort and cooperation during treatment.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Do aromatherapy (lavender and orange essential oils) and digital anesthesia reduce dental anxiety and pain during tooth extraction in children?
Are these methods more comfortable and less stressful for pediatric patients compared to traditional anesthesia techniques?
Does digital anesthesia improve cooperation and ease of management during dental treatment?
Researchers will compare aromatherapy and digital anesthesia with conventional anesthesia methods to determine whether these techniques make the extraction process easier and more comfortable for children.
Participants will:
Receive either aromatherapy, digital anesthesia, conventional anesthesia, or a combination depending on the study group
Undergo tooth extraction under controlled clinical conditions
Be evaluated before, during, and after treatment using standardized pain and anxiety scales
Provide post-treatment feedback along with their parents regarding comfort and anxiety levels
This study may help identify gentler and more child-friendly approaches to managing anxiety and pain during pediatric dental procedures.
