Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in the Anxiety Score
Time Frame: 1 minute after the participant sits the dental unit and 10 minutes after
Patients complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) while seated in the dental unit. Ten minutes after the glasses are worn, patients fill out the anxiety scale again. Changes in the scores are the primary outcome of the study. The scale range is 20-40. A lower score means better results.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in the salivary cortisol level(1 minute after the participant sits the dental unit and 10 minutes after)
- Change in the oxygen saturation(1 minute after the participant sits the dental unit and 10 minutes after)
- Change in the pulsation(1 minute after the participant sits the dental unit and 10 minutes after)
- Intraoperative Pain Score(1 minutes after the surgery)
- Change in the salivary alfa-amilase level(1 minute after the participant sits the dental unit and 10 minutes after)
