Pain and Anxiety Control During Traditional Mandibular Anesthesia in Children Using Distracting Tools

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Clinical Trial

Official title: Effectiveness of Audio Visual Distraction Using Virtual Reality Eyeglasses Versus Tablet Device in Child Behavioral Management During Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two different audiovisual distraction techniques (Audio Video eyeglasses "VR BOX"/ Tablet) in the management of anxious pediatric patients during inferior alveolar nerve block

Group A (Control group): IAN will be administrated with basic behavior guidance techniques and without using any type of distraction aids.

Group B: IAN will be administrated with using AV eyeglasses "VR BOX" and wireless headphone.

Group C: IAN will be administrated with using tablet device and wireless headphone

All of the children who experienced an inferior alveolar block with/without distraction will be assessed by using a combination of measures: Wong-Baker FACES (self-report), pulse rate (physiological) and behavior (using FLACC behavior rating scale "external evaluator

Clinical Trial Description

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of two types of distraction aids that contain video using (tablet device or VR BOX eyeglasses) and audio distraction using wireless headphone. pain and anxiety will be evaluated during inferior alveolar nerve block using three behavioral scales, Wong-Baker FACES (self-report), pulse rate (physiological) and behavior (using FLACC behavior rating scale "external evaluator".

The first measure of heart pulse rate will be recorded directly when the patient seated comfortably on the dental chair, after anesthesia, the second heart pulse rate will be taken and the child patients will ask to choose a face that describe their status from one of the Wong Baker faces scale.

For each child patient, all of the body responses will be recorded during the whole procedure and then will be evaluated by an external assessor to determine the children behavioral score according to FLACC scale. ;
