The Effects of Preoperative Immersive and Non-Immersive Virtual Reality Exposure on Dental Anxiety in Children:A Randomised Controlled Trial

The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to compare the effects of Immersive Virtual Reality(IVRE) and Non-Immersive Virtual Reality(NIVRE) andin children having dental anxiety.The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. Is there a significant difference in baseline dental anxiety scores, as measured using the Malay-MCDASf and PR across the IVRE, NIVRE, and control groups? 2. What is the mean change score in dental anxiety measured using the Malay-MCDASf and PR for IVRE, NIVRE, and control groups after the operative procedure? 3. Is there a significant difference in mean change score of dental anxiety measured using the Malay-MCDASf and PR across the IVRE, NIVRE, and control groups? 4. Is there a significant correlation between the Malay-MCDASf scores (subjective) and PR scores (objective) at preoperative, postoperative, and using the score changes for all groups?
