Background: The procedural pain in dentistry has undesirable effect on child's psychology and future dental visits; therefore, means to decrease these is absolutely essential. Aim: To assess the effectiveness and comparison of virtual reality (VR) and clown dentists as anxiety management tools. Design: This prospective three-arm randomized controlled trial included children aged 3-13 years. They were divided randomly into three groups, a control group (group I) in whom no anxiety management was given and two test groups in whom intervention by VR (group II) or clown dentists/hospital clown (group III) was imparted. Heart rate and anxiety scores were measured by Chota Bheem-Chutki (CBC) pain scale before and after procedure. Results: Data was analyzed for 159 children. The mean anxiety pretreatment in group I was 2.09, in group II it was 3.03, and in group III it was 3.15. Posttreatment, the anxiety level spiked in group I to 3.20, whereas it dipped in group II and III, the mean level being 1.81 and 1.84, respectively, the difference being statistically significant. Conclusion: The anxiety and hemodynamic parameter were lower in both intervention groups (VR and dental clown) than those of the control group. How to cite this article: .
