Pain perception and anxiety degree at a dentist's consultation room in children of pre-school age having cardio-vascular pathology
Purpose: To study levels of anxiety in children with cardio-vascular pathology during their dental treatment. Materials and methods 12 (31.5%) children with cardio-vascular pathology of pre-school age (5-7 years old) were taken into the studied group. 25 (31.5%) children of the same age were taken into a comparative group out of all children in the control group. All children had mouth cavity sanation before topical anaesthesia. Results A compensatory index of psycho-emotional tension in children from the studied group was markedly different of that in the comparative group. In the studied group the basic colour was put into the first five positions by 5 (41.7%) children, after treatment - by 6 (50%) what indicates an unstable psycho-emotional state in children with cardio-vascular pathology which needs a compulsory medicamentous correction before stomatological treatment.
