Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between the perceptions of the dentist and the patients regarding the methods of psychological approach to pain management in dentistry and the effectiveness of these methods in pain management in dentistry. METHODS A questionnaire based study was conducted in a Saveetha Dental college,chennai.Two different groups were selected for the ease of conducting the study. One of the group consisted of dentists and final year students studying who had sufficient experience in handling patients and the other group consisted of patients of different age groups. The data collected from the two groups were compiled and analysed statistically. RESULT In most cases, Dentists as well as patients have the same opinion regarding most of the factors which help in reduction of dental anxiety and methods of pain management except for a few factors for which there is contradiction between the perception of both the groups. CONCLUSION The results of the research clearly signifies that most of the perceptions of the dentist and the patients regarding the psychological approach to pain management match,but there still needs to be some kind of extra effort from both the sides on certain criteria which would enable to make each dental treatment a pleasant experience for both the groups.
