Abstract:

Introduction: Dental fear and anxiety is a common and potentially distressing problem in children. Managing dental anxiety has been one of the most difficult task for pediatric dentist. The potential effects of essential oils have been associated with decreased anxiety, improved mood and increased sedation. Aim: To determine the effect of lavender oil in alleviating dental anxiety. Material and method: 30 children between 4-6 years were randomly allocated to either a control or an experimental group that received lavender oil before dental procedure. Child’s anxiety level was measured by using CFSS-DS and Facial image scale. Physiological parameters were recorded and assessment of behaviour was carried out with North Carolina Behaviour Rating Scale. Results: Student’s t-test showed a significant reduction in pulse rate(p=0.049) and respiratory rate(p=0.003) in experimental group. Conclusion: The positive effects of lavender oil on anxiety in children can be performed to reduce anxiety in children as appropriate.
