Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry, 1992 (Pediatric Dentistry).Includes bibliographic references (leaves 44-48).The objective of this study was to measure the heart rate and the respiration rate of pediatric dental residents while they performed routine prophylaxis procedures and operative dental procedures. The obtained values for each type of procedure were compared to baseline resting levels of heart rate and respiration rate. The monitored vital signs values were also compared between types of procedures, with the purpose of finding out which particular event of dental treatment, if any, elicited specific changes in heart rate and respiration rate levels.en-USThis work is protected by copyright.
