Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of augmented reality glasses in managing pain, anxiety, and behavior in pediatric patients during inferior alveolar nerve block

Group A (Control group): inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with passive behavior management (displaying animated movies directly on the screen of a mobile device).

Group B: inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with displaying animated movies directly on the screen of a mobile device usage of the augmented reality glasses.

Group C: Application of active behavior management by usage video games on the screen of a mobile device connected to augmented reality glasses before administration of inferior alveolar nerve block.

Group D: An active and passive behavior management will be applied by usage video games before administration of inferior alveolar nerve block and animated movies during administration on the screen of a mobile device connected to augmented reality glasses.

Children in all four groups will be assessed by using a combination of measures:

Venham's picture test (VPT), Pulse Oximeter, Wong-Baker face, observational behavioral scale (using Face - Legs - Activity - Cry - Consolability "FLACC" scale "external evaluator") and general behavior scale (Houpt)
