Verbal and Visual Information Techniques on Anxiety in Third Molar Surgery

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of this study was to evaluate preoperative anxiety levels using dental anxiety scale (DAS) and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study will based on a prospective, observational investigation of two different patient education techniques about the effect of third molar removal on patients' anxiety level. A total of 240 patients will be divided into two groups. Information about operation procedures and a recovery will be given verbally in group 1 and information about operation procedures and recovery will be given in group 2. Anxiety levels were assessed by using DAS and (STAI).Paired t-test or Wilcoxon test will be used for intra-group comparison of anxiety levels.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Anxiety measurement method<br>Before the operation, patients in the experimental group will fill the anxiety scales (DAS and STAI). Then patients will watch a video about impacted tooth. This video will include the complications that patients may face and what should be done after the procedure. After the watching the video, patients will fill the both DAS and STAI. | Other: Anxiety measurement method<br>* Two different techniques (video or verbal information) will be examined about impacted third molar surgery.<br>|
| Placebo Comparator: Control<br>Before the operation, patients in the experimental group will fill the anxiety scales (DAS and STAI). The verbal information in detail will be given to the patients by the surgeon.This verbal information will include the complications that patients may face and what should be done after the procedure. | Other: Anxiety measurement method<br>* Two different techniques (video or verbal information) will be examined about impacted third molar surgery.<br>|
