Aromatherapy Reduces Children's Dental Anxiety
Summary
ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry NCT07547371 describes a Phase 3 randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of aromatherapy (lavender and orange essential oils) and digital local anesthesia (SleeperOne 5) in reducing dental anxiety and pain during tooth extraction in pediatric patients, compared to conventional syringe anesthesia. The four-arm study will enroll children undergoing tooth extraction and measure outcomes using standardized pain and anxiety scales before, during, and after treatment. The trial is sponsored by a research institution and registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
This ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry records a new Phase 3 randomized controlled trial (NCT07547371) investigating non-pharmacological and technological approaches to managing pediatric dental anxiety and pain. The study compares three interventions—aromatherapy with lavender or orange essential oil, SleeperOne 5 digital local anesthesia, and conventional syringe anesthesia—across four study arms, evaluating their effects on pain, anxiety, and cooperation in children undergoing tooth extraction.
Healthcare providers and clinical researchers offering pediatric dental services should note this trial's focus on non-pharmacological anxiety management alternatives. Positive findings could influence clinical practice toward more child-friendly anxiety-reduction approaches; however, this registry entry itself imposes no compliance obligations and is informational only.

Effectiveness of Aromatherapy and Digital Anesthesia in Managing Dental Anxiety and Pain in Children
N/A NCT07547371 Kind: NA Apr 23, 2026
Abstract
The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether aromatherapy and digital anesthesia are effective in reducing dental anxiety and pain during tooth extraction in children. The study also aims to understand how these methods influence children's comfort and cooperation during treatment.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Do aromatherapy (lavender and orange essential oils) and digital anesthesia reduce dental anxiety and pain during tooth extraction in children?
Are these methods more comfortable and less stressful for pediatric patients compared to traditional anesthesia techniques?
Does digital anesthesia improve cooperation and ease of management during dental treatment?
Researchers will compare aromatherapy and digital anesthesia with conventional anesthesia methods to determine whether these techniques make the extraction process easier and more comfortable for children.
Participants will:
Receive either aromatherapy, digital anesthesia, conventional anesthesia, or a combination depending on the study group
Undergo tooth extraction under controlled clinical conditions
Be evaluated before, during, and after treatment using standardized pain and anxiety scales
Provide post-treatment feedback along with their parents regarding comfort and anxiety levels
This study may help identify gentler and more child-friendly approaches to managing anxiety and pain during pediatric dental procedures.
Conditions: Pain, Dental Anxiety, Tooth Extraction
Interventions: Traditional Local Anesthesia (Conventional Syringe), Aromatherapy (Lavender or Orange Essential Oil), Digital Local Anesthesia (SleeperOne 5)
