Brief Summary:

Anxiety and pain are emotions that the child often experiences in the dental office, generating the appearance of negative, uncooperative and even disruptive behaviors during the treatment; these make it difficult for dental care and the possibility of establishing a relationship of trust between the pediatric dentist and the patient. The pediatric dentist must promote a positive attitude of the child throughout the dental treatment, keep the child calm and avoid feeling pain is essential at each appointment.

When carrying out dental treatments that are more invasive or painful for the patient, such as pulpotomies, it is difficult to distinguish and separate anxiety from pain.

In this project, anxiety/pain will be managed as a whole, to assess it with the same scale, and to correlate the scores obtained with the variations in skin conductance and heart rate, before, during and after perform pulpotomies in children.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Control
Tell, show, do technique
Behavioral: Tell, show, do technique
The technique involves verbal explanations of procedures in phrases appropriate to the developmental level of the patient (tell); demonstrations for the patient of the visual, auditory, olfactory, and tactile aspects of the procedure in a carefully defined, nonthreatening setting (show); and then, without deviating from the explanation and demonstration, completion of the procedure (do). Tell-show-do technique is used with communication skills (verbal and nonverbal) and positive reinforcement.

Experimental: Intervention
Hypnosis.
Behavioral: Hypnosis
Therapeutic technique in which clinicians make suggestions to individuals who have undergone a procedure designed to relax them and focus their minds.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability Scale [ Time Frame: Change from score in baseline at score during pulpotomies and after pulpotomies, through study completation average 3 months. ]

    A measurement used to assess pain for children between the ages of 2 months and 7 years or individuals that are unable to communicate their pain. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain. The scale has five criteria, which are each assigned a score of 0, 1 or 2.

    Each category is scored on the 0-2 scale which results in a total score of 0-10. 0 = Relaxed and comfortable 1-3 = Mild discomfort 4-6 = Moderate pain 7-10 = Severe discomfort/pain
