Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare between postoperative behavioral changes of children after using physical restraint with or without sedation in different visit lengths. Forty pediatric dental patients of age ranging between 3 ‘/2 to 5 V2 years were selected from the Outpatient Clinic of Pediatric Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry at Alexandria University. Patients were definitely negative according to Franki’s rating behavior scale.
Patients were divided into two groups of 20 patients each. Group I consisted of patients who were physically immobilized with the help of the pediwrap without receiving sedation. Group II consisted of patients who were sedated with prometha.zine then physically immobilized with the help of the pediwrap. Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups. In each subgroup, ten extractions (representing short dental visit of not more than 15 minute) were performed and ten class I amalgam filling restorations (representing long dental visit of not more than 30 minute) were fulfilled.
In both groups, after termination of the procedure, the parent was requested to observe the child during the rest of the day. The following day the parent was interviewed to answer a questionnaire, which is a modification of Vernon, Schulman and Foley’s Post -Hospital Behavior questionnaire.
