Response - NO
Brief Summary   The Principal Investigator will perform the procedure under Standard Operating Protocols. The procedure will be carried out in 45 min for each patient in all the two groups. Parental consent and patient assent will be obtained. The patient will be first asked to sit comfortably on the dental chair. Case History of the patient and preoperative anxiety scores will be noted using Venham’s Picture Scale and Pulse Oximeter. The operator (principal investigator) will be then perform restorative treatment in sensory adapted and regular dental environment. Selected tooth will be isolated with rubber dam and class I cavity preparation using appropriate armamentarium will be done. After which the cavity will be restored using a suitable material. Post restorative instructions will be given. The sensory adapted dental environment is a specialized environment which will aim to activate all the 5 senses of human body to reduce dental anxiety. The setup will consist of moving ceiling light (visual stimulation), portable speaker with soothing music (auditory stimulation), air diffusers with aromatic oils (olfactory stimulation), stress balls or hugging toys (tactile stimulation) and flavoured runner dam sheets (gustatory stimulation). The regular setup will consist of no such specifications.
