About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Music on Young Practitioner's Stress During Endodontic Treatment

According to several studies, patients consider endodontic treatment as one of the most stress-inducing dental procedures. Two studies demonstrated that music enables the patient to be less stressed during RCT.

RCTs are also stressful for the practitioner, and particularly for students who start their dental practice. Endodontic and prosthetic cares are considered the most demanding by students. RCT requires high degree of precision in gestures and patience because those technical acts are, in part, blindly realised and can be long. In a preliminary study, it was found that the most stress-inducing steps for the students during endodontic treatment are root-canal preparation and filling.

The beneficial side of listening to music on the patient's stress during RCT has been proved; but to our knowledge, no study assessed the effect of listening to music on the stress of the practitioner and more particularly of the young practitioner, during endodontic treatment, and in particular during root canal preparation. This is the main aim of this study.

Read the detailed description

Root canal treatment (RCT) consists in eliminating infected and /or inflammatory tissues inside the root canal system of the tooth by a chemo-mechanical preparation and then filling the latter in a three-dimensional, bacteriostatic and durable way to enable healing. This treatment is commonly carried out and can sometimes be long and tedious, as, for instance, on molars with several roots.

According to numerous studies, patients consider endodontic treatment as one of the most stress-inducing dental procedures. The preliminary study Stressendo has shown that anesthesia is the most stressful step for the patient. In some studies, patients also fear the pain and discomfort during RCT. Stress and pain have neurological consequences including the activation of neuroendocrine system which secretes catecholamines. Those act on the heart by increasing the heart rate and arterial pressure.

Two studies demonstrated that relaxing music enables the patient to be less stressed during RCT.

Another study has shown that music also enables the patient to feel less painful during dental care. This would be explained by the fact that music can help reducing the sound perceived as stressful for the patients, in addition to the distraction it produces. Music also has a physiological and psychological role, which enables the patient to feel more relaxed. However, it would depend on its style and the fact that the patient likes it or not. Many studies demonstrated that when the patient likes the music used, the reduction of anxiety is higher than with relaxing music.

RCTs are stressful for the patient, but one must keep in mind that it is also stressful for the practitioner, and particularly for students who start their dental practice.

The students have to treat patients with many parameters to manage. Combining theoretical and clinical practice knowledge is difficult and stressful for students according to a study. Endodontic and prosthetic cares are considered the most demanding by students. RCT requires high degree of precision in gestures and patience because those technical acts are, in part, blindly realised and can be long. In a preliminary study, it was found that the most stress-inducing steps for the students during endodontic treatment are root-canal preparation and obturation.

The beneficial side of listening to music (relaxing music) on the patient's stress during RCT has been proved; but to our knowledge, no study assessed the effect of listening to appreciated music on the stress of the practitioner and more particularly of the young practitioner, during endodontic treatment and in particular root canal preparation.This is the main aim of this study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in practitioner's stress during canal root preparation

    The student will evaluate his stress on an Analogic Visual Scale (AVS). 0 is "very relax" and 10 is "extremely stressed"

    Measured: T1bis (preoperative step of the second session of RCT); T4 (canal root preparation)

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Variation of the practitioner's stress at different stages.

    The student will evaluate his stress on an Analogic Visual Scale (AVS). 0 is "very relax" and 10 is "extremely stressed". AVS will be compared between each step and the preoperative step of the corresponding session. We will also compare the 3 preoperative steps and the 2 anesthesia steps.

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  2. Variation of the patient's stress at different stages.

    The patient will evaluate his stress on an Analogic Visual Scale (AVS). 0 is "very relax" and 10 is "extremely stressed". AVS will be compared between each step and the preoperative step of the corresponding session. We will also compare the 3 preoperative steps and the 2 anesthesia steps.

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  3. Variation of the patient's pain at different stages.

    The patient will evaluate his pain on an Analogic Visual Scale (AVS). 0 is "no pain" and 10 is "extremely painful". AVS will be compared between each step and the preoperative step of the corresponding session. We will also compare the 3 preoperative steps and the 2 anesthesia steps.

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  4. Variation of the patient's discomfort at different stages.

    The patient will evaluate his discomfort on an Analogic Visual Scale (AVS). 0 is "very comfortable" and 10 is "extremely uncomfortable". AVS will be compared between each step and the preoperative step of the corresponding session. We will also compare the 3 preoperative steps and the 2 anesthesia steps.

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  5. Relation between patient and student's stress

    The patient and student will evaluate their stress on an Analogic Visual Scale (AVS). 0 is "very relax" and 10 is "extremely stressed".

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  6. Evaluate the stress induced by an RCT with Spielberger's questionaires

    Spielberger's questionnaires Y1 and Y2 for anxiety evaluation will be done on both patients and students to evaluate their general (Y2) and induced (Y1) anxiety. Both questionnaires are composed of 20 questions, total score is between 0 and 80. The higher the score, the more anxious the person is.

    Measured: Day 0, Day 15, Day 30

  7. Dental anxiety

    Dental anxiety will be evaluated by the Dental Anxiety Scale of Corah which consist of 4 questions. The total score is calculated between 4 and 20. The highest the score, the more anxious the person is.

    Measured: Day 0

  8. Patient's blood pressure

    Patient's systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be evaluated at each stage of the RCT, with a tensiometer (mmHg). This parameter can reflect the stress.

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  9. Patient's heart rate

    Patient's heart rate will be evaluated at each stage of the RCT, with a cardiofrequencemeter (number of pulses per minute). This parameter can reflect the patient's stress.

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  10. Patient's heart rate variability

    Patient's heart rate variability will be evaluated during the RCT, with a cardiofrequencemeter (ms). This parameter can reflect the patient's stress.

    Measured: during the RCT (day 0 and day 15)

  11. Student's blood pressure

    Student's systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be evaluated at each stage of the RCT, with a tensiometer (mmHg). This parameter can reflect the stress.

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  12. Student's heart rate

    Student's heart rate will be evaluated at each stage of the RCT, with a cardiofrequencemeter (number of pulses per minute). This parameter can reflect the student's stress.

    Measured: Each step of the RCT

  13. Student's heart rate variability

    Student's heart rate variability will be evaluated during the RCT, with a cardiofrequencemeter (ms). This parameter can reflect the student's stress.

    Measured: during the RCT (day 0 and day 15)

  14. Musical training questionnaire

    An identical questionnaire for the practitioner and the patient will be filled for the music group. It aims to assess their musical training/knowledge and to evaluate whether a musical training/knowledge has an impact on the effect of the music during the RCT.

    Measured: Day 0

  15. patient's satisfaction assessed by a scale and a questionnaire

    The patient will assess his satisfaction on an Analogic Visual Scale (AVS). 0 is "not satisfied" and 10 is "extremely satisfied". The questionnaire aims at determining the sources of satisfaction.

    Measured: Day 15

  16. student's satisfaction assessed by a scale and a questionnaire

    The student will assess his satisfaction on an Analogic Visual Scale (AVS). 0 is "not satisfied" and 10 is "extremely satisfied". The questionnaire aims at determining the sources of satisfaction.

    Measured: Day 15
