Virtual Reality Headset as an Alternative Tool for Reducing Dental Anxiety

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of virtual reality (VR) headsets can have a positive effect on dental fear during dental procedures and stress induced by the dental environment. Particular attention is paid to children with mild intellectual disabilities and those living with neurodevelopmental disorders (autism spectrum disorder), for whom these factors may hinder the successful completion of procedures.
