Study Summary
Dental Fear and Anxiety is an emotional experiences affecting many children and adolescents which can lead to behavioral problems in the dental setting. The purpose of the proposed study is to investigate the effect of virtual reality on anxiety, behavior, and pain in children undergoing restorative dental procedures. Children enrolled in the study will include patients ages 6-18 who are healthy and require two or more dental sealants (at least one sealant per side). The participants in the study will serve as their own control using a split-mouth cross-over randomized control clinical trial design and will be randomly assigned to receive virtual reality or traditional behavior guidance techniques first during dental sealant placement. The objectives of this study are to explore the associations between the use of virtual reality distraction during dental sealant placement with anxiety based on the change in heart rate, compared with to the control group. This model will include treatment, visit, treatment by visit interaction term as well as a treatment sequence variable. This is a pilot study. Data analyzed will be changed in heart rate between baseline and sealant placement using virtual reality or behavior guidance technique.. No statistical analysis will be conducted except mean and range.
Primary Outcome
Behavior and anxiety measured by changed in heart rate were scored at baseline and during sealant placement with virtual reality
Interventions
- DEVICE Virtual Reality
- BEHAVIORAL Basic Behavior Guidance Techniques
