OBJECTIVES: To elicit the perception of @entity158 in @entity1 undergoing dental extraction under local anaesthesia and also to identify factors that might contribute to this experience despite the administration of local anaesthesia. SETTING: Ile-Ife, Southwestern Nigeria. @entity1 : 122 randomly selected single-tooth extraction @entity1 . METHODS: Informed consent was obtained from @entity1 who subsequently completed a questionnaire on the Corah Dental @entity148 Scale prior to treatment. Details documented for each @entity1 included the demographics, history of previous tooth extraction and the status of the operator. The extraction was timed from the application of instrument until tooth delivery. Immediately after extractions, @entity1 were asked to indicate on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores graded 0-10, the level of @entity158 perceived during extraction. The data were subjected to simple descriptive and statistical analysis using SPSS for Windows 11.0. RESULTS: Positive correlations were found between the VAS and the @entity148 scores, the attending surgeons' status, @entity1 ' @entity148 score and the duration of surgery. A significant difference was found between the @entity148 and the VAS scores in the different occupational groups. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the status of the attending surgeon may affect the level of @entity148 in @entity1 undergoing tooth extractions prior to surgery. While @entity1 's occupational group and duration of surgery could contribute to @entity1 's intraoperative @entity158 perception despite the administration of local anaesthesia.
