Abstract

Dental anxiety has become one of the most important problems affecting patients’ timely consultation and visiting experience. The purpose of this study is to help patients who have the emotion of dental anxiety to relieve anxiety by a virtual reality product based on computerized cognitive behavioral therapy. The study collected MDAS, GSR, and HRV data of 24 adults with dental anxiety through experiments to evaluate the degree of dental anxiety, and evaluated the user experience by user experience questionnaire. According to the data analysis, MDAS, GSR, and HRV has been decreased after the intervention, which confirmed the effectiveness of the virtual reality dental anxiety mitigation tool based on computerized cognitive behavioral therapy. At the same time, direct exposure to the virtual dental environment also has certain utility, but the effect is not equal to the former.
