This study carriy out to evaluate the effect of virtual reality glasses used during tooth extraction and extirpation treatment under local anesthesia on anxiety and fear in children aged 7-10 years.
Aims and Objectives: Virtual reality glasses can be used as a distraction method in dental practices for children. This study carriy out to evaluate the effect of virtual reality glasses used during tooth extraction and extirpation treatment under local anesthesia on anxiety and fear in children aged 7-10 years.
Design: A randomized controlled experimental study design will use. Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 120 seven to ten-year-old children, including 60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group, who will receive tooth extraction and extirpation treatment in the pediatric dental clinic of an oral and dental health center. Data collection tools included a Child and Family Information Form, the Children's Fear Scale, and the Child Anxiety Scale-State. During the procedure, the children in the experimental group will watch a video that they chose through virtual reality glasses. No intervention will apply to the control group. Data will analyz using the Chi-square test, t-test, Shapiro-Wilk, mean, and percentage distributions.
79 studies on the registry are indexed under Tooth Diseases; 11 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 120 is above the median of 49 across 63 interventional studies indexed under Tooth Diseases.

Exclusion Criteria:
The children will ask to choose a three-dimensional cartoon from the list to watch during the procedure, it will run, the mobile phone will placed into the virtual reality glasses, and the children wear the VR glasses and start watching the cartoon. During the procedure, the children's parents and the researcher will present, and the children watch the cartoon through virtual reality glasses. After the procedure, the virtual reality glasses will removed, and ten minutes after the procedure will completed, the CFS and the CAS-S will apply as a post-test.

The effect of virtual reality glasses used during tooth extraction and extirpation treatment under local anesthesia on anxiety and fear in 7-10 years old children
Anxiety Means
Anxiety score will be measured with the Child Fear and Anxiety Scale. The lowest score from the scale can be 0 and the highest score can be 10. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the child's anxiety increases. In this study, if children get high scores from the anxiety section of the scale, it will be determined that they have high procedural anxiety. Getting a low score from the scale will indicate that their anxiety about the procedure is low.
Time frame: 1-4 Weeks
Fear Means
Fear score will be measured with the Children's fear and anxiety scale. The lowest score from the scale can be 0 and the highest score can be 10. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the child's fear increases. In this study, if children score high on the fear section of the scale, it will be determined that their fear of the procedure is high. A low score on the scale will indicate that fears about the procedure are low.
Time frame: 1-4 Weeks
