This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether using an immersive virtual reality headset can help calm patients' anxiety during surgical removal of a lower wisdom tooth. Half of the participants will wear a Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset that shows relaxing natural scenery from just before anesthesia starts until the surgery is complete, while the other half will receive standard surgical care without the headset. The study will measure whether the virtual reality reduces anxiety during the procedure and track recovery outcomes like pain and swelling.
Many people experience significant anxiety during dental surgery, which can make the experience more difficult and potentially affect their recovery. This trial is exploring whether this medication-free distraction tool could be a simple, safe way to help patients feel calmer and more comfortable during a procedure they already need to have.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either wear a virtual reality headset during your wisdom tooth surgery or receive standard care without it. Before surgery, you'll complete anxiety assessments, and immediately after surgery (within 5 minutes), you'll complete another anxiety assessment about what you experienced during the procedure. You'll then be followed up to check on your recovery, including monitoring for pain, swelling, wound healing, and any complications over the healing period.
