Background: When it comes to reducing children's fear, anxiety, and discomfort during dental procedures, substantial local anesthetic delivery promotes adequate intervention. In the dental operatory, local anesthetic injections are the most anticipated or feared stimuli. The application of topical anesthetics, cryotherapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to the oral mucosa prior to local anesthetic injections can alter pain perception in children.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two distraction methods—audio and virtual reality (VR)—in managing anxiety for pediatric dental patients using the tell, show, and do technique (TSD).
- A total of 45 children aged 6-10 were randomly assigned to three groups: one using only TSD, another with audio distractions, and the third with VR distractions, with anxiety levels measured before and after treatment.
- Results showed all methods significantly reduced anxiety, but the VR group had the most substantial decrease in anxiety levels compared to the other techniques.*
Aim: To compare clinical performance and parental satisfaction with composite strip crown and prefabricated zirconia crown for primary anterior teeth.
Materials And Methods: The study compares clinical evaluation and parental satisfaction of two different crowns for primary anterior teeth. A total of 102 teeth in each group selected between ages 3 and 6 years, who met the inclusion criteria, were randomly allocated into two groups for further evaluation.
