Brief summary

This study aims to establish the association between VR distraction and pain and anxiety levels during Infiltration Local Anesthesia Administration in pediatric dental patients. Through this research, we aim to provide valuable insights into interventions that can make dental procedures less traumatic for children and promote a positive attitude toward dental care. Thus, the research hypothesis is to see if VR distraction has no effect on pain and anxiety levels in dental procedures in pediatric dental patients.
