Dental Anxiety Affects Operation Quality and Surgeon’s Comfort in Oral Surgery

Year 2022, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 7 - 10, 30.12.2022

Abstract

Abstract
Introduction
Impacted third molar extraction generally provokes a high level of anxiety in patients, and causes stress and discomfort to the
operating surgeon. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of anxiety on the surgery quality and surgeon’s comfort in
third molar surgery.
Materials and Methods
“STAI-T” and “STAI-S” questionnaires, which are used to measure anxiety, was administered to 110 patients via an interview in
order to measure their levels of preoperative anxiety. The time necessary for the tooth extraction (starting from the first incision
to the last suture) was recorded. After the operation, a questionnaire including eight questions was administered to surgeons
who performed the third molar surgery.
Results
The results of STAI-T and STAI-S questionnaires were not statistically different between men and women (p>0.05). Trouble
in pain control was seen in patients with high scores of STAI-T. Negative correlation was found between STAI-S scores and
operation quality and surgeons’ comfort.
Conclusion
Patient cooperation is an important factor in oral surgery procedures. Assessing the patient’s anxiety level and taking necessary
precautions before the operation is important for both patient and surgeon’s comfort during the oral surgery operations.
