Audiovisual vs Verbal Information in Third Molar Surgery
Sponsor: Gazi University
Summary
This study evaluates whether audiovisual (video-based) or verbal preoperative information is more effective in reducing dental anxiety and stabilizing physiological responses in patients undergoing impacted mandibular third molar surgery. A total of 73 patients scheduled for third molar extraction were randomly assigned to receive either video-based information or standard verbal information before surgery. Anxiety levels were assessed using validated scales, and physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation were recorded at different stages of the surgical procedure. The aim of this study is to determine whether the method of preoperative information has an effect on patients' anxiety levels and physiological stress responses during oral surgery.
