Primary outcomes

  1. Dental anxiety

    Time frame: 20 minutes before the operation

    Before the operation the patients were asked to fill the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionary.Patients' answers to each question were scored between 1-4 points. A total of 20-37 anxiety scores were assessed as minimum level of anxiety or none, 38-44 points as moderate and 45-80 as high.

  2. Dental Anxiety

    Time frame: 20 minutes before the operation

    Before the operation the patients were asked to fill the Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS). Patients' answers to questions were scored between 1-4 points. The total score of the questions in the questionnaire ranged from 4 to 20, and 4-11 points were interpreted as low level dental anxiety, 12-14 points as moderate and more than 14 points as high.
