More dental fear leads to more dental avoidance.
A vicious cycle leading to worsening of problems, more fear, more avoidance.
People with high dental fear require more time, may prove difficult to treat, and exhibit behavioral problems that can be stressful to manage.
Research shows that virtual reality is more effective in reducing pain and anxiety in dental procedures than:
+ Watching a movie (Furman et al., 2009; Hoffman et al., 2001)
+ Listening to audio (Nuvvula et al., 2015), and
+ Control groups (Al-Khotani et al. 2016; Asl Aminabadi et al., 2012; Díaz-Orueta et al., 2014; Furman et al., 2009; Hoffman et al., 2001; Tanja-Dijkstra; 2014; Tanja-Dijkstra; 2018)

Research shows that the use of virtual reality in dental procedures can reduce:
+ Pulse rate (Al-Khotani et al. 2016; Furman et al., 2009; Sullivan et al., 2000; Wiederhold et al. 2014)
+ Blood pressure (Furman et al., 2009)
+ Respiration rate (Wiederhold et al. 2014)
+ Self-reported measures of pain (Asl Aminabadi et al., 2012; Furman et al., 2009; Hoffman et al., 2001; Tanja-Dijkstra; 2018; Wiederhold et al. 2014)
+ Self-reported measures of anxiety/stress (Al-Khotani et al. 2016; Asl Aminabadi et al., 2012; Díaz-Orueta et al., 2014; Nuvvula et al., 2015; Tanja-Dijkstra; 2018 Wiederhold et al. 2014).

Research shows that the use of VR can improve patients’ behavior during a dental procedure (Al-Khotani et al. 2016; Nuvvula et al., 2015).
Research also shows natural environments in virtual reality are more effective than urban environments (Tanja-Dijkstra; 2018).
