Summary

This study tests whether wearing virtual reality (VR) glasses during oral surgery can lower anxiety and reduce the amount of sedation medicine needed. About 80 adults having non-emergency oral surgery will be randomly assigned to either watch a relaxing VR video or wear plain protective glasses. Researchers will measure anxiety, depression, and the doses of sedative drugs used.
