Completed

• Conditions: Post Operative Pain; Anxiety, Dental
• Interventions: Other: Normal light exposure; Other: Green light exposure

• Registration Number: NCT05584696
• Lead Sponsor: Selcuk University

Brief Summary

The investigator's aim in this study was to evaluate the preoperative anxiety and the pain felt during the operation due to exposure to green light. For this purpose, the participants will wear green or translucent glasses before the operation. The investigator will evaluate the patient's anxiety change and the pain she/he feels during the procedure.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Control Group	Normal light exposure	When patients enter the clinic, toss a coin to determine which group they will belong to. Before the patient puts on transparent glasses, the anxiety level is measured with the help of VAS. Then the patient is seated in the dental unit and transparent glasses will be put on. After 10 minutes the anxiety level will be measured again with the help of VAS. The level of pain felt during surgery was determined by VAS. All operations will be performed by a single experienced surgeon. Since the patients enter the clinic, their heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure will be measured continuously.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pre-op blood oxygen level-2	10 minutes after the glasses are put on	saturation measurement from finger tip by pulse oximeter. The avarage value is above %90.
Pre-op Anxiety Score-2(STAI-State)	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.
Pre-op blood oxygen level-1	1 minute after the participant enters the clinic	saturation measurement from finger tip by pulse oximeter. The avarage value is above %90.
Intraoperative Pain Score	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.
Pre-op Anxiety Score-1(VAS)	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.
Pre-op Anxiety Score-1(STAI-State)	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.
Pre-op Pulsation-2	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.
Pre-op Anxiety Score-2(VAS)	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.
Pre-op blood pressure-1	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
