简要总结
Background: Anxiety is an obstacle during dental treatment in children. Acupressure and Virtual reality distraction (VRD) are the newer behaviour modification techniques currently gaining popularity in clinical Pediatric Dentistry. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of acupressure and VRD on anxiety in children.
Methods: A total of 60 children aged 8-12 years meeting inclusion criteria will be randomly and equally divide into acupressure (group I) and VRD group (group II). Acupressure group is further subdivided into three groups with 10 subjects in each subgroup based on the acupoints selected (EX-HN3, Shen Men, P6). Acupressure beads with adhesive strip will be employed over the selected acupoints for group I and VRD glasses playing cartoons will be put on for group II. Anxiety will be measured at four different time intervals i.e at baseline, forty minutes after application of acupressure in group I and five minutes after using virtual reality device in group II, five minutes after local anesthesia, lastly fifteen minutes after completion of treatment. Modified child dental anxiety scale faces version (MCDAS [F]) was used for subjective assessment, Venham’s clinical anxiety rating scale (VCRS) for objective assessment and pulse rate (PR) as physiologic assessment.
