The Effect of Mindfulness Meditation During Dental Implant Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this pioneer study was to evaluate the efficacy (heart rate value, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, cortisol levels, BIS monitoring, patients' anxiety) of Mindfulness Meditation as a sedative technique during dental implant surgery.

Detailed Description
Since anxiety is a form of psychological stress, an increase in anxiety results in a surge in stress levels. The role of sedation in dental surgery cannot be overemphasised. The reduction in pain and anxiety eventually causes better cooperation and patients' satisfaction. Therefore, balancing anxiety and/or stress levels in patients would be useful to ensure patient safety during treatment.Therefore, the aim of this pioneer study was to evaluate the efficacy (heart rate value, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, cortisol levels, BIS monitoring, patients' anxiety) of Mindfulness Meditation as a sedative technique during dental implant surgery.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Mindfulness Group The patients in this group received mindfulness meditation before dental implant surgery. |
Other: Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness meditation has been reported to produce beneficial effects on a number of psychiatric, functional somatic, and stress-related symptoms and has therefore increasingly been incorporated into psychotherapeutic programs
|
No Intervention: Conventional Group The patients in this group did not receive mindfulness meditation before dental implant surgery. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change of Bispectral Index (BIS) monitoring [Change from baseline to 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th minutes]
The level of sedation achieved by meditation was assessed with BIS device. BIS values range between 100 and 0 and give the clinicians objective information about the depth of sedation.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cortisol [At the baseline, immediately before and 5-minutes after surgery for both groups.]
The cortisol levels were biochemically evaluated
- Blood pressure [Every 5-minutes starting from baseline until the end of surgery for both groups]
systolic and diastolic blood pressure (in mmHg) via vital signs monitor for both groups
- arterial blood oxygen saturation [Every 5-minutes starting from baseline until the end of surgery for both groups]
in 'percentage %' via vital signs monitor for both groups
- heart rate value [Every 5-minutes starting from baseline until the end of surgery for both groups]
in 'beats per minute' via vital signs monitor for both groups
