Effect of Virtual Reality Distraction on Pain Perception, Anxiety and Hemodynamic Changes during Therapeutic Extraction of Bilateral Maxillary First Premolars Split-Mouth Technique
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the effect of virtual reality distraction on pain and anxiety during therapeutic extraction of bilateral maxillary first premolars. Design: Non Randomized prospective split mouth technique requiring therapeutic extraction of bilateral maxillary first premolars. Setting: All patients reporting to the department of OMFS Indira Gandhi dental college and hospital Pondicherry requiring therapeutic extraction of bilateral maxillary first premolars. Participants: Covering 56 patients requiring therapeutic extraction of bilateral maxillary first premolars who meets the inclusive and exclusive criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Anxiety is measured using Likert scale, vitals using sphygmomanometer and pulse oximeter. Results: Parameters analysed using T-test, there is subsequent reduction of Systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate and pulse rate using virtual reality distraction when compared to without virtual reality distraction except for diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: By distracting the attention of the patient, pain and anxiety levels of the patients can be reduced and producers can be done smoothly according to our study results.
