Abstract
Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sweet tasting solution in reducing the discomfort, unpleasantness caused while taking radiographs in children between 8-12 years old.
Materials and Methodology: A total of 40 children aged between 8-12 years age range who needed the radiographic diagnosis for any further dental treatment have been included in this study. The sample of 40 children was divided into two groups: Group 1- in which distraction was done with the use of a sweetening solution and Group 2- in which no distraction was used i.e., Without the use of the sweetening solution. A sweetening agent (xylitol) was used in a solution form in 30% concentration used in this research. The application of the xylitol sweetening agent was done on the radiographic sensor sleeve by dipping the radiographic sleeve in the sweetening solution. The response of children were recorded by the VAS scale (Visio analogue scale) for evaluation of unpleasantness while taking intraoral radiographs with and without use of sweetening agent. The anxiety was evaluated before and after the use of the sweetening agent by recording the pulse rate with the help of a pulse oximeter.
Result: The result showed that less anxiety, discomfort and unpleasantness in group 1 where sweetening agent used as compared to group II where no sweetening agent was used
