We will examine 30 children aged 4 to 12 years referring to dental offices and clinics affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences.
These children will be randomly divided into two control and experimental groups, and a one-session pulpotomy will be considered for them.
In the control group, the Tell-Show-Do behavioral guidance method will be used. In the study group, a virtual reality headset with the ability to play cartoons and movies in 3D will be used to distract the child. Finally, in both groups, the level of pain will be recorded and compared through the Wong-Baker Faces pain scale and the level of anxiety through the MCDAS scale (f) and using a pulse oximetry device and the effectiveness of using virtual reality. , will be measured.
