Effects of Consent Methods Performed According to Intelligence Types on Anxiety Associated with Third Molar Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Dental Anxiety
• Interventions: Behavioral: Informed consent; Procedure: Third molar surgery

• Registration Number: NCT04613947
• Lead Sponsor: T.C. ORDU ÜNİVERSİTESİ

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of information provided in accordance with intelligence type on anxiety associated with wisdom tooth surgery.

Detailed Description

The participants who will undergo third molar surgery divided into study and control groups. Study group divided further into three groups according to multiple intellegence test. Ultimately four groups created as follows;

1. Control: The group with standard (written and verbal) information without multiple intelligence test

2. Visual/Spatial: The group with higher visual intelligence according to the multiple intelligence test results and watch video. Also, will given with a written informed consent document.

3. Verbal/Linguistic: The group with higher verbal/linguistic intelligence according to the multiple intelligence test results and verbally informed in detail about the operation. lso, will given with a written informed consent document

4. Bodily/Kinesthetic: The group with higher bodily/kinesthetic intelligence according to the multiple intelligence test results and informed with a dental model. lso, will given with a written informed consent document To evaluate anxiety; participants will asked to complete MDAS questionnairre before and after consent, and after operation. Also, saliva samples will obtained to evaluate the salivary cortisol before and after consent, and after operation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Dental anxiety	at operation day (before and after operation and immediately after consent)	Anxiety change being assessed with Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) MDAS consists of five questions in total which measures anxiety at different stages of dental treatment. 1 (no anxious) to 5 (very anxious) options are available for each question. The sum of the scores varies from 5 to 25 and the values between 19-25 indicates high dental anxiety.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Salivary cortisol level	at operation day (before and after operation and immediately after consent)	The amount of cortisol in saliva samples
