The study was analytical, experimental, prospective, and longitudinal. The sample consisted of 140 children, divided into 2 study groups (control group and experimental group), with 70 children in each group. Dental anxiety levels were recorded using the Facial Image Scale, and heart rate was measured using a pulse oximeter, before and after the treatment. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 22, with a p-value of < 0.01 and a confidence level of 99%. It was observed that the dental anxiety levels before and after treatment in the experimental group showed statistically significant differences (p = 0.000), which was not the case for the anxiety levels in the control group (p = 0.035). Heart rate values before and after treatment in the control group did not show statistically significant differences (p = 0.029), while in the experimental group, the values were significantly reduced (p = 0.000). The audiovisual distraction technique using video glasses was effective in controlling anxiety during dental treatment in children aged 6-9 years.

Dental anxiety is a condition significantly affecting the population, manifesting as fear, worry, unease, etc., due to past experiences that hinder routine activities such as seeking dental care, leading to treatment abandonment, fear of dentists, and more. This issue has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to determine the level of anxiety among patients during dental care in the context of COVID-19 at the Cerdent Clinic - Miraflores, San Antonio branch, in 2020. This was a descriptive, observational, prospective, and cross-sectional study. The sample included 201 patients over 18 years old. The SDAI and MDAS questionnaires, comprising a total of 14 questions, were used to measure anxiety levels as well as control variables like age and gender. Data were processed using a descriptive analysis for each question. The results showed that 85.15% of patients were classified as extremely anxious according to the SDAI, and 42.57% had moderate anxiety according to the MDAS. In conclusion, 100% of the surveyed patients presented some level of anxiety during dental care in the context of COVID-19 at the Cerdent Clinic - Miraflores, San Antonio branch, in 2020.

The objective of this study was to determine the level of anxiety in adult patients regarding dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic at a dental center in Lima in 2020. This was an observational, prospective, and cross-sectional study that included 203 patients of both sexes over 18 years old who attended the aforementioned dental center. A previously validated survey, the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale by Corah, was applied to collect demographic characteristics of the participants and the type of treatment received to diagnose anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each participant voluntarily consented by signing an informed consent form. The results showed that 40.89% of respondents presented a mild level of anxiety. A significant association was found between different levels of anxiety and the variable age, with a predominance in the 18 to 39-year-old range (64.53%). Higher prevalence was also observed in females (64.53%), participants with higher education (60.10%), single marital status (59.11%), and in restorative treatments (29.06%). In conclusion, the application of the Norman Corah Test allowed the determination that a high percentage of individuals did not report dental anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among those who did, moderate anxiety was the most representative.
