Summary

This study compares a specially designed, calming dental environment to a regular one for children aged 6-7 with mild intellectual disability and moderate dental anxiety. The goal is to see which setting helps them complete a simple teeth-polishing procedure. Researchers hope a sensory-friendly room can reduce stress and improve cooperation during dental visits.
