Vital Signs Changes During Dental Procedures
Conditions
Brief summary
The study will evaluate the vital signs changes during 3 different dental procedures performed for the same patient by the same dentist. The patients will be selected randomly and should all be healthy adults. The aim is to look for any significant changes in the major vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) and body temperature) during specified dental procedures (scaling, simple restoration, and simple exodontia) and compare the changes between the 3 procedures.
Interventions
The patient will undergo a supragingival scaling procedure without local anesthesia
The patient will undergo a simple dental restoration procedure under local anesthesia
The patient will undergo a simple dental extraction procedure under local anesthesia

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* The patients included are the ones planned for the following 3 dental treatments in 3 separate visits to done by the same dentist: supragingival scaling without local anesthesia (LA), simple dental extraction under LA, and simple restoration under LA.
Exclusion criteria
* Patients under 18 years old * Patients with a known medical history of any systemic disease like hypertension, diabetes, and bleeding disorders * Patients with history of cardiac surgery; including pace maker insertion * Patients on medications * Smokers, alcoholics, and drug abusers * Pregnant patients * Patients with an acute infection with or without fever * Patients with a preoperative pain score of 4 or more on a visual analogue scale out of 10; where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain imaginable * Patients with 2 or more simultaneous dental procedures per visit * Patients with undiagnosed hypertension who are found to be hypertensive according to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition on the base-line preoperative readings
