Treatment and study plan

Lavander Aromatherapy

Other

Aromatherapy is one of the potential non-pharmacological methods. Lavender oil has been known to have calming properties and is one of the most effective aromatherapy oils. It reduces blood pressure and anxiety by stimulating the parasympathetic system

Primary outcomes

  1. Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS)

    Time frame: 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.

  2. Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS)

    Time frame: 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.

  3. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score

    Time frame: 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.

  4. Facial Edema

    Time frame: 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.

  5. Mouth Opening Measurements

    Time frame: 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.

  6. Blood Pressure

    Time frame: 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.

  7. Blood Pressure

    Time frame: 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 outcomes

  1. Oxygen Saturation

    Time frame: 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.

  2. Oxygen Saturation

    Time frame: 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.

  3. Pulse Rate

    Time frame: 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.

  4. Pulse Rate

    Time frame: 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.
