The effect of restorative dentistry practices on the vital signs of healthy individuals

Aim: Clinical applications of dentistry, the tools and drugs used increase the effects of anxiety and stress factors that we encounter before the treatment, but also cause changes in the life symptoms of the patients. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effects of Restorative Dentistry applications on vital signs parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and oxygen saturation of healthy individuals before and after the interventional procedure. Material and Method: In the study, blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature and oxygen saturation values of 100 patients without any systemic disease were measured before clinical applications. Following the treatment intervention, the same parameters were measured again and evaluated by comparing the previous and next values. Result: In the patients who were not applied local anesthesia, the post-treatment measurement values of the body temperature parameter were significantly higher than the initial measurement values (p0.05). In patients who were applied local anesthesia, the last measurement values of body temperature and systolic blood pressure were significantly lower than the initial measurement values (p0.05). Conclusion: We think that measures such as a relationship based on mutual trust, approaching expectations with understanding, informing about interventional procedures and operating consent processes will prevent patients from anxiety during the session and keep vital parameter values at a normal level.
