Abstract
OBJECTIVE:The aims of this study were to examine the trans- and postoperative systemic characteristics of patients undergoing dental implant surgery and to investigate the relationship between pre- and post- surgery anxiety levels.MATERIAL AND METHODS:Thirty-nine patients were analyzed in 3 call centers to determine anxiety levels, pain levels, and preoperative and postoperative histories using the State–Trait (STAI) questionnaire.RESULTS:A total of 93 dental implants were installed, with a success rate of 100%. The most frequently reported systemic disease was hypertension. There was a significantly higher rate of effective clamping (torque) to the mandibular bone than to the maxillary bone. The association between postoperative surgical complications and longer operative time was not significant, but there was a significant correlation between the alteration of mouth opening and daily routine activities and a significant decrease in anxiety levels between the day of surgery and the postoperative time point (p=0.006).CONCLUSION:A longer surgical time was associated with surgery-related complications and with a higher anxiety index on the preoperative evaluation.
Highlights
Dental implantation has highly predictable and successful outcomes in modern times [1]
The placement of implants can generate minimal to moderate stress and proper management of anxiety may be related to the reduction of pain [3]
Patients generally seek rehabilitation from osseointegrated implants, especially for the improvement of masticatory function, primarily because there was a greater association of improved chewing function with the insertion of implants into the posterior mandible and maxilla than into the anterior regions
Summary
Dental implantation has highly predictable and successful outcomes in modern times [1]. The patient history and clinical examination stages are greatly important in identifying factors that may affect the surgical and rehabilitation stages of implantation. Implantation surgeries with minimal trauma avoid stress and excessive bleeding [2]. A patient who attends a clinic to undergo dental implant surgery has several expectations with regard to treatment, such as fear of pain during the procedure [3]. The placement of implants can generate minimal to moderate stress and proper management of anxiety may be related to the reduction of pain [3]. The aim of this study was to conduct pre-, trans- and post- operative monitoring of patients who received
