The Effect of Rubber Dam on Objective and Subjective Parameters of Stress During Dental Treatment in Children

Patients were divided according to the randomization procedure. infiltration anesthesia (Maxicaine Forte, Artikain, VEM Drug, Turkey) was performed with a 20-gauge needle. Following the administration of anesthetic, an appropriate size rubber dam and metal clamp was placed i and pit and fissure sealant was applied. The stress parameters of the subjects were recorded at three measurement points. At the conclusion of the treatment, pain perception was evaluated subjectively using the WBFPRS and VAS.

Patients were divided i according to the randomization procedure. The topical anesthetic agent (EMLA, AstraZeneca, Cotia, São Paulo, Brazil) was applied using a disposable dental Q-tip for 10-20 seconds. Following the administration of anesthetic, an appropriate size rubber dam and metal clamp was placed i and pit and fissure sealant was applied. The stress parameters of the subjects were recorded at three measurement points. At the conclusion of the treatment, pain perception was evaluated subjectively using the WBFPRS and VAS.

Patients were divided into 4 subgroups according to the randomization procedure: topical anesthesia and infiltrative anesthesia before the placement of the clamp and also cotton roll application other side of the arch. The topical anesthetic agent (EMLA, AstraZeneca, Cotia, São Paulo, Brazil) was applied using a disposable dental Q-tip for 10-20 seconds and infiltration anesthesia (Maxicaine Forte, Artikain, VEM Drug, Turkey) was performed with a 20-gauge needle. Following the administration of anesthetics, an appropriate size rubber dam and metal clamp was placed in the mandibular arch, and pit and fissure sealant was applied to the opposite arch. The stress parameters of the subjects and dentist were recorded at three measurement points. At the conclusion of the treatment, pain perception was evaluated subjectively using the WBFPRS and VAS.
