Summary

The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different preoperative information techniques (verbal, written, video with background audio, and silent video with subtitles) on patients' anxiety levels before and after third molar extraction. The secondary objective was to determine the superiority of the information methods evaluated over each other. We hypothesized that the information provided by video with or without background audio would decrease preoperative and postoperative anxiety levels more effectively than information provided by verbal and written methods.

Conditions

  • Impacted Third Molar Tooth
  • Dental Anxiety

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S)

STAI is one of the most frequently used scales in anxiety research, although it is not a specific scale for dental anxiety

BEHAVIORAL

Dental Fear Scale (DFS)

DFS is a scale developed by Kleinknecht used to determine dental fear in different dimensions. This is a Likert-type scale with a score of 1-5. It has 20 items. It examines the level of fear in terms of dentist avoidance, somatic symptoms of fear, and fear of various applications in dentistry practice

BEHAVIORAL

Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS)

MDAS was developed by Humphris et al. by adding a question related to injection. The scale consists of five-point Likert-type rating with five options. The scoring in this scale varies between 5 and 25

BEHAVIORAL

Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

VAS is ideal for evaluating situations that cannot be measured using digital and oral information. In the present study, a scale comprising 100-mm closed-end line was used to measure the anxiety level. One end of the scale was labeled as "no anxiety" and the other end as "maximum anxiety imaginable
