What this trial studies
This study assesses the levels of fear and anxiety in patients undergoing wisdom tooth extraction or jaw implant surgery, comparing those receiving local anesthesia to those under general anesthesia. It aims to understand how anxiety affects wound healing by measuring cortisol levels, pain fear, and dental anxiety through various questionnaires. The study involves five visits, starting with an informed consent process and concluding with monitoring the healing process post-surgery. The findings could provide insights into the relationship between anxiety and surgical outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for wisdom tooth extraction or jaw implant surgery and can provide informed consent.
Not a fit: Patients with severe anxiety disorders or those unable to cooperate with the study requirements may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management of anxiety in dental procedures, enhancing patient comfort and recovery.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored the impact of anxiety on surgical outcomes, suggesting that managing anxiety can improve recovery, making this approach relevant and potentially beneficial.
