Summary

This study compared the effect of the detailed video visual information and basic verbal information on patients' anxiety levels (using anxiety scales) before endodontic treatment and stress levels (using electrodermal activity method) during endodontic treatment.

Detailed description

Patients (n=120) aged between 18-65 with single-rooted teeth with the single canal that diagnosed with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis and/or pre-prosthetic root canal treatment were included in this study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups after completing anxiety scales and socio-demographic/dental habits form. Before the treatment, visual video information was given to the video group patients, while the control group patients were routinely informed verbally. The stress levels during the endodontic treatment process were recorded by placing a electrodermal activity measurement device on the wrists of the patients. Anxiety scales and feedback-satisfaction forms were administered to all patients after the treatment process.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Information Types Before Endodontic Treatment	The first aim of this study is to compare the effect of detailed video information or basic verbal information on the anxiety levels of patients by using anxiety scales before treatment. The second aim is to evaluate the effect of pretreatment video or verbal information on the stress level occurring in patients during the endodontic treatment steps by using electrodermal activity. The third aim is to investigate the relationship between patients' pretreatment anxiety levels and socio-demographic characteristics which are thought to play a role in anxiety's etiology.
