Application Effect of Computer-Assisted Local Anesthesia in Patient Operation

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Anesthesiology
• Medical Technology

Background:

• Dental anxiety negatively impacts patient experience and surgical outcomes.
• Traditional local anesthesia injections can cause pain and anxiety.
• Computer-assisted anesthesia delivery systems aim to improve patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the effectiveness of computer-assisted local anesthesia in managing dental anxiety during tooth extraction.
• To compare patient anxiety levels and satisfaction between computer-assisted and traditional manual anesthesia injection methods.

Main Methods:

• A randomized controlled study involving 72 patients undergoing tooth extraction.
• Patients were divided into an observation group (computer-assisted anesthesia) and a control group (traditional manual injection).
• Anxiety scores and patient satisfaction were assessed post-anesthesia.

Main Results:

• 86.11% of patients in the observation group showed decreased anxiety scores, versus 13.88% in the control group.
• 80.65% of patients receiving computer-assisted anesthesia achieved non-dental anxiety, compared to 28.57% in the control group.
• Computer-assisted anesthesia improved patient satisfaction and facilitated smoother nursing work.

Conclusions:

• Computer-assisted oral local anesthesia is effective in controlling dental anxiety.
• This method alleviates pain and discomfort associated with local anesthesia injection.
• Improved patient satisfaction and smoother procedures are key benefits.
