Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as a distraction technique to reduce anxiety and pain in children undergoing buccal infiltration anesthesia during dental procedures.
- Pediatric patients aged 6 to 12 were divided into a test group that used VR goggles while watching a cartoon and a control group that watched the cartoon on a screen.
- Results showed that the test group experienced higher heart rates during anesthesia administration, and factors like age and gender influenced pain levels, indicating that younger and female subjects tended to report more pain regardless of the distraction method used.
Objectives: This study aimed at evaluating the effect of using a 45S5 bioglass paste and a topical fluoride as protective agents against acidic erosion (resembling acidic beverage softdrinks intake) for enamel surrounding orthodontic brackets.
Materials And Methods: Sample of 21 freshly extracted sound incisor and premolar teeth was randomly divided into three equal groups: a bioglass group (Bioglass) (NovaMin, 5-mm average particle, NovaMin Technology), a Fluoride group (Fluoride) (Gelato APF Gel, Keystone Industries), and a control group (Control). Orthodontic brackets were bonded to the utilized teeth usingMIP (Moisture Insensitive Primer) and Transbond PLUS color change adhesive.
