Effect of Virtual Reality Glasses as a Distraction Method on Child's Anxiety During Dental Treatment
Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the effect of virtual reality glasses (VR) to conventional behavior management techniques as a distraction method on child's dental anxiety during dental treatment
Description
The study to be conducted will be a randomized controlled clinical trial .The sample will consist of forty children presented to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health, 20 preschoolers of age ranging from 4-5 years old and 20 schoolers of age ranging from 6-8 years old. The eligible participants will be randomly divided into a study group where virtual reality glasses distraction will be used for child behavior management and a control group where conventional behavior management techniques (tell-show-do, distraction, and positive reinforcement) will be used.
