Efficacy of audiovisual distraction using eyeglasses during dental care: a randomized clinical trial.

This randomized parallel-group control trial tested the efficacy of distraction using audiovisual eyeglasses (AVE) during dental procedures [NCT03902158]. Forty-four 6-9 year-old children with low/moderate anxiety and who needed restorative treatment or exodontia of the primary molars were randomly allocated into two groups: the AVE (experimental) and the conventional behavior management techniques (control) groups. Motion sensors were used to measure the participants' body movements.

Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Glasses as a Distraction for Children During Dental Care.

The purpose of this review was to investigate the effect of virtual reality (VR) glasses as an audiovisual distraction technique on dental anxiety, pain perception, and behavior triggered during dental treatment in children up to 12 years old. The research question asked was: Can improvement be seen in the child's behavior, pain perception or anxiety when VR eyeglasses are used during dental treatment? Five databases were searched for studies published until September 2018. Studies were selected by titles and abstracts, followed by full-texts reading.

Maternal perception of the impact of anterior caries and its treatment on children: A qualitative study.

Background: Qualitative studies could allow a more comprehensive understanding about the breadth of children's experiences and perspectives regarding the impact of dental caries treatment.

Aim: To assess parental perception about children's oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) following the rehabilitation of carious primary anterior teeth.

Maternal perception about child oral health is associated to child dental caries and to maternal self-report about oral health.

Objective: To test the association between maternal perception about child's oral health and child dental caries experience and maternal self-perception about oral health.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with mothers and their children aged six to 13 years. A questionnaire was applied to mothers.
