A Comparative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Eyewear vs Show-Do Technique on Dental Anxiety and Behavior in a Group of Children With Different Levels of Hearing Impairment During Dental Prophylaxis Procedure: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (2) locations...
Intervention Type: Behavioral, Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) eyewear used as a distraction method in combination with the Show-Do (SD) technique versus the traditional Show-Do technique alone in managing dental anxiety and improving behavioral responses among Egyptian children with different levels of hearing impairment during a dental prophylaxis procedure. The study will evaluate dental anxiety using pulse rate and the PJS-Pictorial Scale, while behavior will be assessed using the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale. The trial seeks to provide evidence-based guidance on the implementation of VR technology as an adjunctive non-pharmacological tool for children with communication barriers in pediatric dentistry.

A- Show-Do Technique:~Description: This technique will be integrated with the VR eyewear intervention to enhance understanding and comfort. The show-do technique involves:~* Show: The child will be shown the dental tools and explain their purpose, possibly using visual aids or models.~* Do: The procedure will be Performed as explained with continuous reassurance and support.~B- Virtual Reality Component:~Participants in this group will experience a virtual reality (VR) eyewear in an environment designed to distract them during dental prophylaxis procedure. The VR content will be age-appropriate and engaging, and featuring interactive (e.g., Fun animations, and Cartoons).~Implementation:~Before the dental treatment and after the implementation with show-do, children will be fitted with VR eyewear, where the aim is to immerse the child in the VR experience to reduce their focus on the dental treatment.~Duration:~• The VR eyewear experience will last for the duration of t
Active_comparator: Children with different levels of hearing impairment, using Show-Do Technique:
Participants in this group will receive the standard show-do technique without the VR eyewear distraction. The same steps (Show, Do) will be employed to prepare the child for the dental procedure, but without the use of VR technology.
