Sponsor's own description
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of augmented reality glasses in managing pain, anxiety, and behavior in pediatric patients during inferior alveolar nerve block Group A (Control group): inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with passive behavior management (displaying animated movies directly on the screen of a mobile device). Group B: inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with displaying animated movies directly on the screen of a mobile device usage of the augmented reality glasses. Group C: Application of active behavior management by usage video games on the screen of a mobile device connected to augmented reality glasses before administration of inferior alveolar nerve block. Group D: An active and passive behavior management will be applied by usage video games before administration of inferior alveolar nerve block and animated movies during administration on the screen of a mobile device connected to augmented reality glasses. Children in all four groups will be assessed by using a combination of measures: Venham's picture test (VPT), Pulse Oximeter, Wong-Baker face, observational behavioral scale (using Face - Legs - Activity - Cry - Consolability "FLACC" scale "external evaluator") and general behavior scale (Houpt)
