Brief Summary  

This study is a single blind randomized controlled trial that studies the efficacy of immersive distraction techniques by using virtual reality glasses in controlling pain perception and anxiety in children aged between 6-8 years of age during the dental treatment. 16 patients requiring non-invasive dental treatment will be a part of the experimental group while another 16 patients will be exposed to conventional behavior management techniques during dental treatment. The pain perception, anxiety and blood oxygen saturation of both the control and experimental group will be recorded using Wong Bakers Faces Pain Rating Scale, Faces version of the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale and Pulse oximeter are compared. The study will be conducted over a period of 6 months at the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, MCODS, Manipal, India.
