Can Dental Anxiety During Impacted Third Molar Surgery Be Measured Biometrically? Clinical Study with the Galvanic Skin Response Technique
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2021, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The present study aimed to define the experience and stages of dental anxiety in oral and maxillofacial surgery patients using real-time biometric data collection tools. Materials and Methods: In this study, the patient-dentist interaction was divided into three sessions: The pre-surgery, oral surgery and post-surgery sessions. A software algorithm was used to record the galvanic skin response signals and heart rate data of patients when they sat on the dental chair for a tooth extraction procedure. Results: A total of 38 patients with a mean age of 24.8 years were included in the study. Fifteen of the participants were men (39.5%) and 23 were women (60.5%). In the operative phase, which is the second of the three oral surgery phases, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean values of the op galvanic skin response and op heart rate (p<0.001). Conclusion: Emotional/motivational changes during the oral surgery stages can be determined through biometric data analysis. The measurement of biometric parameters, combined with the dentist’s experience, can enable the dentist to make decisions about preferable procedures and approaches in the treatment of patients with dental anxiety.
