Summary

This study aimed to compare the stress levels induced in patients at the beginning and at the end of endodontic and restorative treatments and access relationship between dental anxiety levels and cortisol levels.

For this study, 44 patients requiring endodontic and restorative treatment on a maxillary premolar tooth were selected. Patients were requested to fill out the Corah Dental Anxiety Scale (CDAS) questionnaire prior to and following each treatment procedure. Saliva samples were then collected using the roll cotton method. The saliva was analysed by using the Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. Intragroup comparisons of CDAS and cortisol levels were conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Intergroup comparisons were performed employing the Mann-Whitney U Test. The magnitude of the association between continuous variables was investigated by calculating Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficients along with corresponding significance levels (p\< 0.05).
