Abstract: Due to their age，cognition and other factors，Children have a high incidence of "dental anxiety/fear"，so it is difficult for them to cooperate with doctors to complete the treatment. Family members express concern about the poor performance of routine behavior management and the use of drugs to manage children′ s behavior，which delays treatment. Virtual reality （VR） technology has the characteristics that are more suitable for behavior management in children′ s oral therapy. By expounding the role of VR techniques in relieving pain and anxiety，this paper introduces the progress of non-drug behavior management in dental treatment for children.

摘要： 儿童由于其年龄、认知等因素影响，是牙科焦虑/畏惧症的高发人群，难以配合医生完成治疗。由于常规的行为管理效果欠佳，且采用药物对儿童进行行为管理的方式家属又表示担忧，从而延误了病情治疗。虚拟现实技术拥有的特性比较适合于儿童口腔治疗中的行为管理。文章通过阐述虚拟现实技术在减轻疼痛、缓解焦虑中的作用，从而介绍儿童口腔治疗非药物行为管理的进展。
