Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare nitrous oxide (N2O) vs virtual reality (VR) as methods for reducing pain and anxiety during a dental injection. The primary objectives were to assess acute changes in stress responses by comparing salivary cortisol levels between the 2 groups and differences in injection pain scores.
Methods: A total of 132 female subjects serving as their own control received maxillary lateral incisor infiltration injections with the use of either N2O or a VR headset during separate appointments spaced at least 2 weeks apart.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most powerful antigen-presenting cells (APCs) within the tumour microenvironment (TME), where they orchestrate T cell-mediated anti-tumour immunity and can also be reprogrammed to promote the progression of tumours in the TME. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are very small and they are secreted by cells and wrapped in lipid bilayers that shuttle bioactive cargoes, including proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites, to recipient cells, thereby influencing the progression of diseases, including cancer. DC-derived EVs (DC-EVs) play pivotal roles in the TME by mediating crosstalk with other immune and stromal cells to modulate inflammatory responses, angiogenesis, cell death, and immune evasion, thereby regulating the development and progression of tumours.
