Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes computer-generated images, sounds, and other sensory inputs onto the real world, enhancing the user's perception of reality. In pediatric dentistry, AR is emerging as an effective audio-visual distraction technique to alleviate anxiety and discomfort in young patients during dental procedures. The use of augmented reality as an audio-visual distraction technique in pediatric dentistry offers a promising approach to enhance the overall dental experience for young patients. By reducing anxiety, managing pain, and improving cooperation, AR can lead to better dental outcomes and foster a positive attitude towards dental care in children. As technology advances, the potential for AR applications in pediatric dentistry is likely to expand, making it an invaluable tool for dental professionals.
