About this study

Surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth creates a high level of anxiety on patients. Anxiety in patients can affect the difficulty of tooth extraction, prolong the duration of surgery and increase post-operative pain. With the increasing internet usage in recent years; patients can access different information about surgical procedures by watching videos on various social media platforms in an uncontrolled manner. In the literature, the effects of impacted tooth extraction videos, which are watched by physicians before the operation, on anxiety have been examined. However, studies on the evaluation of the effect of the surgery videos watched by the patients before the surgery on their own will on anxiety and pain perception have been limited.

Read the detailed description

The study is given to KSBU Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery; It will be applied to patients who are referred from Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology and who want to participate in the study. In our study, the Situational-Trait Anxiety Inventory will be used to assess anxiety. Patients who are referred to our clinic from Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology and who have impacted wisdom teeth will be evaluated in terms of extraction indication. Patients with indications for extraction will be asked to rate the sentences in the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory when making an appointment. Patients will be informed about impacted tooth extraction as it is routinely practiced. Within the scope of this study, no information about the extraction will be given in the Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology clinic, standard information will be given to the patients in our clinic and the surgery appointment will be given one week later. On the day of tooth extraction, patients will be asked whether they watched a video about impacted tooth extraction from any social media platform. The patients who watch the video will be assigned to the study group, and the patients who do not watch the video will be assigned to the control group, so the study will be conducted over two groups. If the patient has watched the video; He will be asked whether he watches an animation video or a video with real surgery footage, and the reason for watching the video. Then, before starting the operation, they will be asked to score the sentences in the Situational and Trait Anxiety Inventory. By comparing the Situational Anxiety Inventory made at the time of the surgery appointment with the Situational Anxiety Inventory scores made just before the surgery, it will be evaluated whether the patients who watch videos have more anxiety. At the same time, it will be evaluated whether the patients who have a high Trait Anxiety Inventory score when making an appointment and who generally have high anxiety watch more videos. This study is planned to be performed on a total of 60 patients, 30 of whom watch videos and 30 who do not.
