Abstract
Introduction: Dental pain and dental anxiety are the most common determinants of negative dental experience, the reason for broken appointments and ignored oral health care affecting the quality of life.
Aim: To evaluate the effects of distraction techniques using virtual reality and eight-dimension (8D) audio analgesia method on pain perception and anxiety levels in children during restorative procedures.
Materials and methods: A total of 120 children between the ages of 4 and 10 years old who visited for the first time to a pediatric dental department were grouped equally between three interventional groups. Group I was treated with conventional tell-show-do (TSD) method; patients selected for group II (8D audio analgesia) and group III (virtual reality method) underwent two-step procedure that initially involved the TSD technique, by explaining the distraction techniques method conditioned for restoration treatment. Clinical evaluation of anxiety levels was measured by using the Chotta Bheem-Chutki (CBC), face, legs, activity, cry, consolability (FLACC) scale, and recording pulse and oxygen saturation rate. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post hoc Tukey's test was done to compare all the parameters between the three groups.
Results: In comparison to the conventional TSD method, both 8D audio analgesia and virtual reality method showed statistically better results. One-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey's test showed no significant difference between the virtual reality group and 8D audio analgesic group.
Conclusion: Both 8D audio analgesia and virtual reality box distraction techniques can be used as an efficient distraction technique for TSD during dental procedures in children.
