Primary outcomes

  1. Pre-op Anxiety Score-1(VAS)

    Time frame: 1 minute after the participant enters the clinic

    Patients fill out the Dental Anxiety Scale(Visual Analogue Scale) when he/she arrives dental clinic. The range of Scala is 0-10. A lower score means better results.

  2. Pre-op Anxiety Score-1(STAI-State)

    Time frame: 1 minute after the participant enters the clinic

    Patients fill out the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State when he/she arrives dental clinic. The range of Scala is 0-10. A lower score means better results.

  3. Pre-op Anxiety Score-2(VAS)

    Time frame: 10 minutes after the glasses put on

    Patients fill out the Dental Anxiety Scale(Visual Analogue Scale) ten minutes after wearing green or translucent glasses in the dental unit. The range of Scala is 0-10. A lower score means better results.

  4. Pre-op Anxiety Score-2(STAI-State)

    Time frame: 10 minutes after the glasses put on

    Patients fill out the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State ten minutes after wearing green or translucent glasses in the dental unit. The range of Scala is 0-10. A lower score means better results.

  5. Pre-op blood pressure-1

    Time frame: 1 minute after the participant enters the clinic

    Brachial tension measurement. ideally it should be 120-80 mm/hg. Çeviri sonuçları After the patient enters the clinic

  6. Pre-op blood pressure-2

    Time frame: 10 minutes after the glasses are put on

    Brachial tension measurement. ideally it should be 120-80 mm/hg.

  7. Pre-op blood oxygen level-1

    Time frame: 1 minute after the participant enters the clinic

    saturation measurement from finger tip by pulse oximeter. The avarage value is above %90.

  8. Pre-op blood oxygen level-2

    Time frame: 10 minutes after the glasses are put on

    saturation measurement from finger tip by pulse oximeter. The avarage value is above %90.

  9. Pre-op Pulsation-1

    Time frame: 1 minute after the participant enters the clinic

    heartbeat measurement by pulse oximeter. The avarage value is between 65-75.

  10. Pre-op Pulsation-2

    Time frame: 10 minutes after the glasses are put on and the patient sits in the chair

    heartbeat measurement by pulse oximeter. The avarage value is between 65-75.

  11. Intraoperative Pain Score

    Time frame: 1 minutes after

    Measuring the pain felt by the patient after the operation with the help of the visual analog scale. The range of Scala is 0-10. A lower score means better results.
