Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of dental operatory staging on patient comfort during dental treatment. It will systematically examine the influence of specific environmental factors within the dental operatory—including layout, olfactory stimuli, lighting, parental presence, and auditory conditions—on patients’ psychological responses. The primary outcome of interest is patient comfort, with the goal of identifying environmental elements that may enhance the overall treatment experience.
