Can Dental Anxiety During Impacted Third Molar Surgery Be Measured Biometrically? Clinical Study with the Galvanic Skin Response Technique

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

Gömülü Üçüncü Molar Ameliyatı Sırasında Dental Anksiyete Biyometrik Olarak Ölçülebilir mi? Galvanik Deri Yanıtı Tekniği ile Klinik Çalışma

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, gerçek zamanlı biyometrik veri toplama araçlarını kullanarak ağız, diş ve çene cerrahisi hastaların, dental anksiyete deneyimi ve aşamalarını tanımlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma protokolü ameliyat öncesi, ameliyat ve ameliyat sonrası olmak üzere üç bölüme ayrıldı. Hastaların diş çekimi prosedürü sırasında galvanik deri tepki sinyallerini ve kalp atış hızı verilerini kaydetmek için bir yazılım algoritması kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya ortalama yaşı 24,8 yıl olan 38 hasta dahil edildi. Katılımcıların 15’i erkek (%39,5), 23’ü kadındı (%60,5). Çalışmanın ameliyat bölümü operasyon fazında galvanik deri yanıtı ve kalp atış hızı ortalama değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark vardı (p
