Summary

This randomized, two-armed, placebo-controlled, cross-over, controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effect of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) on dental anxiety, pain, and behaviour among children undergoing dental treatment under local anaesthesia. The null hypotheses were as follows: VRET has no effect on reducing dental anxiety and dental pain scores of participants; and there is no difference between subjective and objective measure scores of dental anxiety and pain when VRET and attention palcebo-controlled (APC) groups are used to reduce anxiety in children undergoing dental treatment with local anaesthesia.

Conditions

  • Dental Anxiety
  • Dental Pain and Sensation Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

Virtual Reality Device

The Virtual Reality system (PlayStation 4 VR, Sony Inc.) is a simple and easy to use distraction device. The system consists of a screen mounted on a binocular headset connected to a console or personal computer. The head-mounted display provides a high-resolution visual display and unmutes the sound from the headphones using a soundproof mechanism that provides clear sound.

DEVICE

Protective glasses

Each patient was informed about the dental procedure and was provided with protective glasses. All patients were told that they were wearing these glasses to ensure a pain- and stress-free treatment, and that the dentist would devote additional attention to the treatment.
