Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Subjective fear and anxiety(FIS). Timepoint: FIS at times t0 (after sitting in the dental chair and before explanation about VR) and t2 (after extraction of the desired tooth). Method of measurement: The FIS is a visual test that consists of five smiley faces ranging from very happy to very sad, with a Likert scale of 1 to 5.;Objective fear and anxiety(FBRS). Timepoint: It is measured at time points t0, t1, and t2. Method of measurement: Behavioral scoring is completely negative, negative, positive, and completely positive (from 1 to 4, respectively).;Heart rate. Timepoint: It is measured at times t0, t1, and t2. Method of measurement: finger pulse oxymeter.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Parental satisfaction. Timepoint: T2 or after completion of the intervention. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on a chart and scoring from 1 to 10.
