Dental simulation game

22 children For the experimental group (group 2) dental simulation game, use the dental simulation game as educational game about procedure this game includes multiple dental procedures like filling cavities, performing root canal treatments, extracting decayed teeth, and conducting orthodontic procedures for animalsAt the first visit children will play on any procedure in dental simulation game, after that the child will be shown two animals, after which they virtually do a root canal procedure. Tasks include performing a dental X-ray, anesthetizing the tooth using a syringe, drilling decayed cavity and start pulp treatment, rinsing, pulp treatment and filling the tooth, applying light cure and finally polishing the teeth . The second visit for pulpotomy procedure will be scheduled two days after first visit. Children will be managed using the TSD (Tell-Show-Do) technique

Tell show do

22 children For the control group (group 1) TSD (Tell-Show-Do) technique group, children will be managed with a verbal explanation and a friendly, non-threatening demonstration of the upcoming dental treatment. The "do" phase involved carrying out the dental procedure as per the prior explanation and demonstration.
