简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of virtual reality glasses showing an immersive video simulation of the dental visit will help decrease anxiety at future appointments by decreasing the element of surprise and increasing the patient's familiarity and comfort level with a specific dental practice environment.
详细描述
After an initial baseline data collection visit to the dental clinic, patients will be placed in the virtual reality (VR) group or the no VR group. Caregivers in the VR group will be given VR glasses. They will be instructed how to access the video and use the glasses. The child/wearer of the glasses will feel immersed in the three-dimensional environment and be able to look around the room as they move down the hallways in the video. The caregiver will be encouraged to have the child wear the VR glasses as often as possible and record the number of times the video is watched. The caregiver will fill out a "records form" which will include the date and time the video was watched. Both groups will then return to the clinic for follow up data collection visit.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in heart rate
时间窗: Baseline to 2 week follow up
Heart rate measured by a fitbit worn on the wrist during the visit
Change in 5-point Venham Anxiety Scores
时间窗: Baseline to 2 week follow up
Level of Anxiety exhibited by participant during dental visit as rated on Venham Anxiety Scale by blinded expert rater. Scale ranges from 0 (relaxed, smiling, willing and able to converse) to 5 (child out of contact with the reality of the threat, loud crying, unable to listen to verbal communication, actively involved in escape behavior).
Change in 5-point Venham Uncooperative Behavior Scores
时间窗: Baseline to 2 week follow up
Cooperative behaviors exhibited by participant during dental visit as rated on Venham Uncooperative Behavior Scale by blinded expert rater. Scale ranges from 0 (total cooperation, no crying or physical protest) to 5 (general protest, no compliance or cooperation)
