| Abstract;It has been reported that two changing patterns (increment or decrement) of nasal skin temperature exist when anxiety/fear is recognized. The cause of those changing patterns, however was unknown. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the changing patterns of nasal skin temperature during dental anesthesia, with seven factors, i.e. chronological age, social age, sex, anesthetized place, quantity of anesthesia, experience under anesthesia, and nasal temperature's coefficient of variation. The following results were obtained. 1. It was suggested that school age was a turning period from the increasing pattern, which was common in childhood, to the decreasing pattern which was common among adults. 2. Borderline for the chronological age between both increasing and decreasing patterns was nine years of age, which was significant also in the field of mental development. 3. Three factors, the social age, chronological age and experience under anesthesia, were selected as influencing the changing patterns of nasal skin temperature. 4. The social age, which was one mental developmental index, was selected as being the most effective factor in the discrimination of changing patterns. (author abst.) |
