Registered outcomes3
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Total number of completed steps of the the dental visit | Baseline (first dental visit), Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3 | Total number of completed steps of the dental visit. The dental visit is divided into 8 steps: entering the room, sitting on the dental chair, reclining in the dental chair, accepting the dental operating light, opening the mouth, accepting an oral examination with gloves, and accepting the dental mirror and probe. The number of completed steps will be recorded at the first dental visit (baseline) and at each of the three familiarization sessions, each one week apart. |
| Secondary | The level of cooperation during the familiarization sessions, as assessed using the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale (Frankl Scale) | Baseline (first dental visit), Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3 | Level of cooperation during the familiarization sessions, assessed using the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale: 1 = definitely negative, 2 = negative, 3 = positive, 4 = definitely positive. Higher scores indicate a better outcome (greater cooperation). The coperation level will be assessed at the first dental visit (baseline) and at each of the three familiarization sessions, each one week apart. |
| Secondary | Caregivers' and/or parents' feedback (satisfaction) on the sessions | Week 3 (end of the third familiarization session) | Caregivers' and/or parents' feedback (satisfaction) on the sessions, measured with an 8-item questionnaire administered at the end of the three familiarization sessions. Each item is rated on a Likert scale from 0 to 5: 0 = definitely disagree, 1 = disagree, 2 = neutral, 3 = agree, 4 = totally agree. Minimum score per item is 0 and maximum is 5. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction (a better outcome). |
