Summary
This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) goggles during dental treatment could help children aged 11-15 with mild intellectual disability feel less anxious. 56 children with moderate dental anxiety took part. The VR group used a headset to watch an immersive video, while the comparison group watched a video on a regular screen. The goal was to see if VR helped more children complete their dental procedure calmly and within 50 minutes.
