Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two different audiovisual distraction techniques (Audio Video eyeglasses "VR BOX"/ Tablet) in the management of anxious pediatric patients during inferior alveolar nerve block

Group A (Control group): IAN will be administrated with basic behavior guidance techniques and without using any type of distraction aids.

Group B: IAN will be administrated with using AV eyeglasses "VR BOX" and wireless headphone.

Group C: IAN will be administrated with using tablet device and wireless headphone

All of the children who experienced an inferior alveolar block with/without distraction will be assessed by using a combination of measures: Wong-Baker FACES (self-report), pulse rate (physiological) and behavior (using FLACC behavior rating scale "external evaluator

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of two types of distraction aids that contain video using (tablet device or VR BOX eyeglasses) and audio distraction using wireless headphone. pain and anxiety will be evaluated during inferior alveolar nerve block using three behavioral scales, Wong-Baker FACES (self-report), pulse rate (physiological) and behavior (using FLACC behavior rating scale "external evaluator".

The first measure of heart pulse rate will be recorded directly when the patient seated comfortably on the dental chair, after anesthesia, the second heart pulse rate will be taken and the child patients will ask to choose a face that describe their status from one of the Wong Baker faces scale.

For each child patient, all of the body responses will be recorded during the whole procedure and then will be evaluated by an external assessor to determine the children behavioral score according to FLACC scale.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

VR Box

Inferior alveolar nerve block will be performed with the aid of VR box as a means of distracting patients' attention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VR Box

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Distraction will be made during the injection of the drug using this method.

Tablet device

Inferior alveolar nerve block will be performed with the aid of a tablet device as a means of distracting patients' attention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tablet Device

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Distraction will be made during the injection of the drug using this method

Anesthesia

Inferior alveolar nerve block will be performed in the normal manner without any specific intervention to distract patients' attention. Classic anesthesia will be applied.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Anesthesia

Intervention Type DRUG

Anesthesia will be obtained by injecting the drug into the oral mucosa before performing the dental treatment.
