Virtual Reality Technology on Pain Perception and Anxiety Levels in Adolescents and Young Adults During Third Molar Germ Avulsion Surgery (VIDAMO)

France100 participantsStarted 2021-02-16

Plain-language summary

For a long time, the fear of the dental surgeon has been the main reason why a percentage of the population avoids regular consultation. There are many techniques to manage anxiety (tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, live modeling, etc). Now, virtual reality offers this possibility as a non-drug alternative technique. Few studies have assessed the value of virtual reality in peroperative during an oral surgery procedure. It is interesting to compare the immediate post-operative anxiety level between groups using virtual reality headset (RV) versus standard protocol (hydroxyzine + music with headphones : SMP)
