The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a VR-assisted audiovisual intervention on acute physiological stress responses and patient-reported post-treatment feelings in adults with dental anxiety undergoing restorative procedures. MDAS was used only to characterize eligibility at baseline; post-intervention subjective anxiety was not assessed.
