Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  conventional behavior management techniques.  Treatment of patients under this group will be carried out under conventional behavior management techniques such as tell show do, modelling, distraction  
Intervention  Nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation vs conventional behavior management techniques   Nitrous oxide oxygen sedation is one of the effective methods of behavior management of anxious children. Nitrous oxide causes “relative analgesia” chemically altered psychological state which eliminates the fear and pain of the dental experience. It is easy to administer, has wide analgesic and anxiolytic effects and wide margin of safety. Patients will be assessed and recruited into the study on the first visit. They will be divided randomly into three groups. Group A: All the treatment under conventional behavior management Group B: Nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation, only in the treatment visit requiring LA administration Group C: Nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation from the first treatment visit Anxiety assessment will be done for all the groups on the first, second, third and fourth visit. The duration of therapy will be up to 1 hour. The frequency will depend on the number of seatings required for the treatment

Method of Generating Random Sequence   Computer generated randomization 
Method of Concealment   Not Applicable 
Blinding/Masking   Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Self-reported anxiety levels will be measured using Children’s fear survey schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS): 15 items rated on 5 point scale, ranging from 1 (not afraid) to 5 (very afraid). The total score is calculated by summing item score.
Facial image scale: A pre-validated 5 point scale.
Observer rating of behavior will be measured using
Global rating scale: A pre-validated 5 point scale.
Venham’s clinical anxiety scale: A pre-validated 6 point scale. 
Anxiety assessment will be done at the first visit that is baseline and after one week and after two weeks 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Acceptability of nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation: will be assessed by likert scale: 3 point categorical scale  Acceptability assessment will be done at the end of the visit that is baseline and one week after and two week after baseline

Brief Summary  
In our study we plan to assess and compare  
1) the overall average anxiety level in 6 to 12 year old children who receive dental treatment under two different protocols of nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation and conventional behavior management techniques.
2) the anxiety level in 6 to 12 year old children who receive dental treatment under two different protocols of nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation and conventional behavior management techniques on three different visits.
3) To compare anxiety level of children in the first treatment visit to anxiety level in the subsequent visit in all the groups.
Our proposed primary research hypothesis is nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation can reduce anxiety levels in 6 - 12 year old children compared to the conventional behavior management techniques in treatment and subsequent visit.
