Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Virtual Reality (VR)
Child behavior management will be done using virtual reality glasses distraction (Remax Fantasy Land virtual reality glasses (Schenzen Remax Co.,Ltd))
Virtual Reality (VR)
All the dental procedures that will be done will be explained to the child using tell-show-do technique. VR glasses will be introduced to the child using tell-show-do technique and he will be given a choice of cartoon episodes to select from according to his own interest and age appropriate to view during the dental treatment. The child will be given five minutes to get familiar with the VR glasses before starting the dental treatment.
Conventional Behavior Management
Child behavior management will be done using conventional behavior management techniques
Conventional Behavior Management Techniques
Conventional behavior management techniques will be done to relieve the child's dental anxiety during the dental treatment such as : tell-show-do technique, distraction, and positive reinforcement, according to the child's behavior.
