简要总结
Background: Various distraction methods have been employed in dentistry with excellent effectiveness when administering local anaesthesia. Virtual reality is a technology which can be implemented in distraction of patients from dental pain and anxiety.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of virtual reality distraction on dental pain and anxiety during local anaesthesia procedure among teenagers.
Methods: Individuals aged 12-19years who attended the dentist for the first time and need a treatment procedure involving local anaesthesia injection will be randomly distributed to test group(n=25) and control group(n=25). A virtual reality device will be administered to test group participants to watch a video while the local anaesthesia will be administered. Participants in the control group will be administered local anaesthesia conventionally. A pulse oximeter will be used to record heart rates at three different times during the procedure in order to measure dental anxiety levels in both the groups. A self-administered questionnaire will also be used to assess anxiety levels of study participants. Numeric rating scale will be used to assess anxiety.
