About This Trial
Dental anxiety is common during third molar extractions and may exacerbate pain perception. Local anesthesia does not prevent exposure to stress-inducing stimuli. Virtual reality (VR) combined with hypnotic scripts (HypnoVR®) provides immersive multisensory distraction. This study tests whether VR reduces perioperative anxiety and postoperative pain compared to local anesthesia alone.
