What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This randomized clinical trial aims to compare two behavior guidance techniques used to reduce anxiety in children during local anesthesia injections in dental treatment. The study evaluates the traditional Tell-Show-Do (TSD) technique versus an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, avatar-based video method called the "Mini Dentist." Children aged 5 to 7 years who require local anesthesia for routine dental treatment will be randomly assigned to one of two groups.
