    Facial Image Scale (FIS) in the conditioned room prior to dental care.

    30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • heart rate

    30 minutes

Study Arms (2)

photobiomodulation

EXPERIMENTAL

laser therapy application for 10 minutes

Device: Photobiomodulation

Sham photobiomodulation

SHAM COMPARATOR

sham laser therapy application for 10 minutes

Device: Photobiomodulation sham

Interventions

The red laser (DMC) will be applied with the aim of reducing the anxiety of children during the dental consultation. It will be continuously and directly with 60J of energy, wavelength of 660nm and 100mW/cm2 of power. The application will be located in the unilateral radial artery for 10 minutes. The laser will be transmitted through an appropriate bracelet where the laser tip fits perfectly. It is a painless, non-invasive method that does not cause any discomfort during application.

photobiomodulation

The red laser (DMC) will be applied off. I
