The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of virtual reality technology on anxiety and pain levels in patients undergoing periodontal surgery.
Participants will be randomly assigned into test and control groups. While the patients in the test group will undergo periodontal surgery with virtual reality distraction, the patients in the control group without distraction. After treatment, the groups will be compared regarding anxiety and pain levels.
