Evaluation of Dental Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Second-Stage Surgery with Er, Cr: YSGG Laser Treatment: Randomized Clinical Trial

Oral surgical procedures cause high-pain expectation and consequent anxiety in patients. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Er, Cr: YSGG laser and scalpel method on dental anxiety level during second-stage implant surgery. 96 patients with 304 osseointegrated implants were divided into two groups. Implants embedded under the oral mucosa were exposed with scalpel or laser surgery. Before the operation the patients were asked to fill the STAI and DAS while resting in the wai ting room. In addition, postoperative daily analgesic use, VAS scores perioperativly and on the postoperative 1 st, 2nd and 3rd days and demographic information such as age and gender were also recorded. There was no statistically significant relationship between surgical method and anxiety levels (p>0.05. Also, the differences between the scalpel and laser groups in terms of total DAS and STAI scores were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). But statistically s ignificant difference was found between surgical method and the analgesic consumption (p
