Uso de audiovisuales en pacientes pediátricos con ansiedad, una revisión bibliográfica

Abstract

Objective: To determine how the use of audiovisuals helps and reduces anxiety in pediatric patients at the time of dental consultation Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted by searching various databases and extracting information from different digital sources, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria with an additional manual search to eliminate duplicate articles. Conclusion: Among the various techniques used to reduce anxiety, the distraction technique involving audiovisuals in pediatric patients during dental consultations has proven remarkable results. That is because, during any treatment, children's focus is directed towards the distractor or the type of audiovisual being used rather than the work being performed by the operator. This approach provides our patients with an innovative and high-quality service, leaving aside outdated techniques that lead to negative experiences and an unfavorable clinical environment.
