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 will be randomly assigned to either watch a relaxing VR video or wear plain protective glasses. The goal is to see if VR makes the procedure more comfortable and cuts down on drug use.
