An Study to Evaluate and Compare Anxiety and Behavior Management of Pediatric Patients Using Distraction Techniques.

Aim: To compare the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) glasses and on-screen distraction techniques in managing anxiety and behavior in children receiving dental treatments.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients aged 4-8 years requiring restoration were divided into two groups: group I with 20 members using audio-visual distraction aid in the form of VR glasses and group II with 20 participants utilizing on-screen distraction techniques. Each child underwent two appointments one week apart; their anxiety and behavior levels were assessed at each visit using the Facial Image Scale and Frankel's Behavior rating scale.
