Summary

In this clinical study, it was aimed to evaluate whether there is a decrease in patient anxiety by applying virtual reality glasses, which are the product of new technology, during scaling and root planing treatment.

Patients who required scaling and root planing treatment and also scored 9 or above according to the Dental Anxiety Scale were included in our study. Scaling and root planing was performed in a randomly selected intraoral quadrant of the patients, in the same way, with or without the use of virtual reality glasses. In the virtual reality glasses application, a video consisting of images of nature landscapes developed for patient rehabilitation was projected onto the screen in front of the patient's eyes. The Dental Anxiety Scale was reapplied after the completion of the treatment.

In the intraoral quadrant where virtual reality glasses were used, it is expected that lower Corah Dental Anxiety Scale scores may be obtained after the treatment is completed, compared to the intraoral quadrant where the treatment is performed without glasses, thus reducing anxiety.
