Er:YAG laser preparation combined with acid-etching vs Acid-etching (phosphoric acid)

Physiological stress indicators (heart rate, oxygen saturation) · Children (ages 6-12) receiving pit-and-fissure sealants

Heart rate and oxygen saturation did not differ significantly between laser-plus-acid and acid-etching (ungraded, single study).

Hypnosis vs No hypnosis (no hypnotic intervention)

Physiological measures during local anaesthesia (pulse rate and oxygen saturation) · Children aged 4 to 13 years with no previous dental experience undergoing restorative treatment with local anaesthesia (Gokli 1994)
1 finding from 1 review
  • With regard to oxygen saturation and pulse rate, only pulse rate was significantly lower in the hypnosis group (P = 0.005); oxygen saturation did not differ significantly. (Gokli 1994; cross-over, 29 children.)

Hypnosis vs Inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen

Completion of treatment · Children aged 10 to 16 years undergoing orthodontic extractions (Braithwaite 2005)

The review found no eligible studies for this question.

1 finding from 1 review
  • Completion of treatment (yes/no) was a protocol-planned primary outcome but was not reported by the included study for this comparison (Braithwaite 2005); one participant in the sedation arm was withdrawn during…

Hypnosis vs Inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen

Anxiety control and overall response to treatment during tooth extraction · Children aged 10 to 16 years undergoing orthodontic extractions (Braithwaite 2005)
1 finding from 1 review
  • Hypnosis did not provide sufficient anxiety control during tooth extraction, and overall response to treatment remained statistically lower than response to inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen (i.e. the…

Hypnosis vs Inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen

Measures of behaviour / negative responses during local anaesthesia administration · Children aged 10 to 16 years undergoing orthodontic extractions (Braithwaite 2005)
1 finding from 1 review
  • Hypnosis can control some of the patient's negative responses to dental treatment, such as movement and behaviour, during administration of local anaesthesia. (Braithwaite 2005; single-blind cross-over, 10 patients…
