Stress Index Registration in Dentists Managing Local Anesthesia by ECG Data

To assess the risks of increasing the voltage index of the regulatory systems of dentists when performing local anesthesia. In the period from 12/2018 to 09/2020, selective monitoring of ECG was carried out at 200 dentists 25-55 y.o. using a wearable monitor. The study was conducted during the day with an emphasis on the 6-hour period, which corresponded to the working time of the dentist and measured the heart rate in normal and in case of local anesthesia. Of the participants, depending on age, 3 groups were formed: the 1st group included 25-34 y.o.; in the 2nd group - 35-44 y.o; in the 3rd group - 45-55 y.o. In the first group, the maximum heart rate limit was 188.8-182.5 (185.6); in the second - 181.8-175.6 (178.7); in the third - 174.9-168.1 (171.5). in 1st group for maxillary anesthesia heart rate increased at 6,8% and for mandibular - 9,52%; in the 2nd group data shows 2,22% and 5,99% and in the 3rd group - 1,56% and 3,93%. In all groups was showed the significant change in heart rate and we can say about role of stress before local anesthesia in hemodynamic changes in dentists. © 2020
