Distraction

This study is the first of its kind to examine the effect of integrating the real oral environment with a video that supports the expressions used during the Tell-Show-Do technique (such as "we will see the cavity," "the cavity will drink juice to fall asleep," and "we will clean the tooth from the cavity"). This approach aims to enhance the Tell-Show-Do technique, build trust with the child, and reduce anxiety at the different stages of dental treatment in the clinical setting.

We want to investigate whether Virtual Reality (VR) could be a good alternative to the relaxing or pain-relieving medications that are often used to alleviate anxiety when patients undergo surgery under local anesthesia.
