Abstract: Introduction: Dental pain and dental anxiety are the most common determinants of negative dental experience, the reason for broken appointments and ignored oral health care affecting the quality of life. Aim: To evaluate the effects of distraction techniques using virtual reality and eight-dimension (8D) audio analgesia method on pain perception and anxiety levels in children during restorative procedures. Materials and methods: Tukey's test was done to compare all the parameters between the three groups. Results: Tukey's test showed no significant difference between the virtual reality group and 8D audio analgesic group. Conclusion: Both 8D audio analgesia and virtual reality box distraction techniques can be used as an efficient distraction technique for TSD during dental procedures in children.
