| Summary: | Despite new technologies and advances in modern dentistry, dental anxiety
continues to be a problem affecting all age populations. Dental anxiety is more
common in younger adults than older people. One of the causes of dental anxiety is
the clinical appearance or physical environment. The physical environment of the
dental clinic makes it less comfortable for patients, this is due to the application of
colors that seem cold. Color is an important element in interior design. Color can
create a certain atmosphere and impression that can affect the comfort of each user
of the space. Of the many colors, blue and green are considered the most effective
colors in reducing anxiety in humans. Applying these colors to the dental clinic
examination room can be a solution to overcoming dental anxiety in patients.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of blue and green colors and identify
the most effective colors in reducing dental anxiety in early adult patients. There
have not been many studies on the influence of the physical environment on dental
anxiety that have focused on adult patients from an interior design point of view. In
addition, no recommendations for color design and application positions have been
found that can reduce anxiety. The method consists of several stages: literature
study, observation, interviews, and experiments. Experiments using digital
simulations with VR Goggles. Anxiety was measured through the Modified Dental
Anxiety Scale (MDAS) questionnaire and the measurement of physiological signs
through the pulse. The data will be analyzed through the repeated measure analysis
technique ANOVA and post hoc test follow-up.
The results showed that the appearance of the examination room with blue accents
on the ceiling was the most effective display for overcoming dental anxiety
compared to green accents or a combination of the two colors. The blue color
specification is blue (Pantone 2935 C). While the appearance of the room that
makes the most anxious and is considered uncomfortable is the control room and
the room with a combination of green and blue colors |
