结局指标
主要结局
Change in dental anxiety scores
时间窗: Baseline and immediate post operative
The number of times the "anxious" figure will be chosen a score of one will be assigned and then totaled to give a final score (minimum score - zero; maximum score - eight) for each patient. The final score will be interpreted as follow: 8 (Very high anxiety), Equal to or more than 6 and less than 8 (High anxiety), Equal to or more than 4 and less than 6 (Average), Equal to or more than 2 and less than 4 (Low anxiety), More than 0 and less than 2 (Very low anxiety) and 0 (No anxiety).
