Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Aromatherapy on Anxiety, Vital Signs, and Postoperative Complications in Lower Impacted Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Dental anxiety is considered to be one of the fears and concerns associated with dental treatment. Lavender has a relaxing and anxiolytic aroma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy on dental anxiety in bilateral impacted wisdom tooth surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) [baseline, pre-surgery]
The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) consists of 5 questions each with a 5 category rating scale, ranging from 'not anxious' to 'extremely anxious'. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and MDAS was recorded before each operation.
- Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) [immediately after the surgery]
The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) consists of 5 questions each with a 5 category rating scale, ranging from 'not anxious' to 'extremely anxious'. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and MDAS was recorded before each operation.
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score [0-7 days]
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales between 1-10. VAS value was recorded (at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours on day 1 and on days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) after each extraction.
- Facial Edema [0-7 days]
Measurement between facial cach extraction.raniometric points (angulus-lateral canthus, tragus-labial commissure, and tragus-pogonion). The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and edema was measured before, 2 days after and 1 week after each operation.
- Mouth Opening Measurements [0-7 days]
Mouth opening measurements is the distance between the incisals of the patient's central teeth at maximal mouth opening.The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and mouth opening was measured before, 2 days after and 1 week after each operation.
- Blood Pressure [baseline, pre-surgery]
Blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Blood pressure was measured with a manual sphygmomanometer.The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and blood pressure was measured before and after each operation.
- Blood Pressure [immediately after the surgery]
Blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Blood pressure was measured with a manual sphygmomanometer.The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and blood pressure was measured before and after each operation.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Oxygen Saturation [baseline, pre-surgery]
Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much hemoglobin is currently bound to oxygen compared to how much hemoglobin remains unbound. Oxygen saturation were measured with a pulse oximeter. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and oxygen saturation was measured before and after operation.
- Oxygen Saturation [immediately after the surgery]
Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much hemoglobin is currently bound to oxygen compared to how much hemoglobin remains unbound. Oxygen saturation were measured with a pulse oximeter. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and oxygen saturation was measured before and after operation.
- Pulse Rate [baseline, pre-surgery]
The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. Pulse rate were measured with a pulse oximeter. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and pulse rate was measured before and after operation.
- Pulse Rate [immediately after the surgery]
The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. Pulse rate were measured with a pulse oximeter. The number of participants in the split mouth model was 25. A total of 50 impacted teeth were extracted and pulse rate was measured before and after operation.
