ABSTRACT

This clinical case report demonstrates the successful application of hypnosis in an anxious four-year-old boy in whom two primary molars were treated with a composite filling. The almost 16-minute pediatric dental treatment was performed without complications and without interruptions. It could be shown that hypnosis can be used for the pediatric dental treatment of decayed primary tooth lesions. In the specific individual case hypnosis was not only used adjuvant but as an alternative to local anesthesia. A dental anxiety reducing effect and an elimination of pain perception were observed, so that the treatment was possible without anesthesia. It was also found that the communication and rapport between the practitioner and the four-year-old child were improved using hypnosis. There is still a need for high quality studies on the numerous positive effects that hypnosis has on pediatric dental treatment.

摘要

这份临床病例报告证明了催眠在一名焦虑的四岁男孩的成功应用，他的两颗乳磨牙用复合填充物治疗。近 16 分钟的儿科牙科治疗没有出现并发症，也没有中断。可以证明，催眠可用于儿童牙齿龋坏的初级牙齿病变的治疗。在特定的个案中，催眠不仅用作辅助，而且用作局部麻醉的替代方法。观察到牙齿焦虑的减轻效果和疼痛感的消除，因此可以在没有麻醉的情况下进行治疗。还发现使用催眠改善了从业者与四岁儿童之间的沟通和融洽。
