Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Audio-Visual (AV) Distraction is a recent modality introduced to the entertaining market technology for adults and children. Some practitioners started using this modality of distraction in the dental practice to aid in psychological management of patients.

This study is designed to compare between conventional dental visits (No Distraction) and dental visits aided with audio-visual distraction. Providing a safe, comfortable and entertaining dental environment will give pediatric children a better perception regarding the dental environment and motivate them for repetitive dental visits for better dental health care.

Clinical Trial Description

[I] Recruitment: Children aged 5~8 years old with teeth decay requiring restorative dental treatment will be randomly selected according to the Intrusion and Extrusion Criteria.

[II] Intervention:

The dentist will ask the child to choose one of the six faces that best represented his/her current emotional state.

3. Pulse oximeter sensor will then be placed and initial pulse rate will be obtained.

4. Patient will choose from a bowl a piece of paper to decide if AV-distraction will be used or not.

5. Above steps will be done in both visits, with and without the intervention.

6. If the toss had AV-distraction, The operator will introduce the Audio-visual device (Virtual Reality Eye Glasses) to the patient and how it works and will allow the patient to choose his favorite show to watch during the dental visit.

7. The operator will instruct the patient with the rules that will be applied during the dental visit to assure complete cooperation.

8. The operator will apply topical and dental anaesthesia

9. Pulse rate will be measured every 5 minutes.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
