Rubber dam vs Isolite system

Participant acceptance/satisfaction · Dental patients undergoing direct or indirect restorative treatment (no age or gender restriction)
1 finding from 1 review
  • Rubber dam isolation for restorative treatment in dental patients 2021 · Cochrane All outcomes
    Pit and fissure sealing (permanent molars)
    Rubber dam may be associated with significantly lower satisfaction than the Isolite system but evidence very uncertain, mainly worse comfort (31%, P=0.02) and less preference (26%, P=0.002) (Alhareky 2014).

    Very low

Rubber dam isolation and moisture control (alone or with saliva aspiration) vs Cotton rolls (with or without saliva aspiration)

Participant acceptance/satisfaction · Dental patients undergoing direct or indirect restorative treatment (no age or gender restriction)
1 finding from 1 review
  • Rubber dam isolation for restorative treatment in dental patients 2021 · Cochrane All outcomes
    Non-carious cervical lesions (composite restoration)
    Evidence did not support higher acceptance/preference for rubber dam than cotton rolls (P = 0.85 from binomial test on 28 participants; very low-certainty evidence) (Loguercio 2015).

Counter-stimulation and distraction (combined) vs Conventional treatment

Self- or observational assessment of intraoperative distress/pain/acceptance of treatment during provision of LA (SEM scale, distress) · Children and adolescents having dental treatment under local anaesthetic without general anaesthesia
1 finding from 1 review

Camouflage syringe vs Conventional syringe

Self- or observational assessment of intraoperative distress/pain/acceptance of treatment during provision of LA: pain-related behaviour (crying) · Children and adolescents having dental treatment under local anaesthetic without general anaesthesia

It is very uncertain whether camouflage syringe changes self- or observational assessment of intraoperative… compared with conventional syringe (very low certainty).

Video modelling acclimatisation vs Acclimatisation in clinic (tell-show-do)

Self- or observational assessment of intraoperative distress/pain/acceptance of treatment during provision of LA: pain-related behaviour during LA (negative vs positive behaviour; Frankl Behaviour Rating Scale) · Children and adolescents having dental treatment under local anaesthetic without general anaesthesia

It is very uncertain whether video modelling acclimatisation changes self- or observational assessment of intraoperative… compared with acclimatisation in clinic (tell-show-do) (very low certainty).
