The study will be led by Andrew Geers, PhD, and Laura Seligman, PhD, using a three-year, $1.28 million grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. Their team includes researchers from Wayne State University in Detroit, Arizona State University in Tempe and the University of Sydney in Australia.
Study participants will take part in virtual reality simulations, where researchers will track reports of anxiety and physiological markers associated with anxiety. Researchers hope to create preventive treatments for dental fear and phobias.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
