Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in STAI-S | Through study completion, an average of 5 weeks | The Anxiety State scale (S-Anxiety) is an inventory that has been validated and assesses the current state of anxiety of the participant measured through an auto evaluation, asking how the evaluated individual feels in this moment, using items that measure subjective feelings of apprehension, tension, nervousness, worry and activation/excitement of the autonomic nervous system. The total scores can go from 20 to 80 points A cut point value of 39 to 40 points has been suggested to detect clinically significant symptoms in the Anxiety State scale. STAI-S will be assessed in 4 stages: 1. At the initial consultation (baseline) 2. Immediately before the procedure and administration of the local anaesthetic solution 3. Immediately after the procedure is completed 4. 1 week after the procedure (exodontia) |
| Changes in MDAS | up to 3 weeks | The modified dental anxiety scale (MDAS) is an auto evaluation questionnaire about dental anxiety that contains 5 items, each one with 5 possible answers that reflects in order an increase of anxiety (no anxiety to extremely anxious). The total score can go from 5 points to a maximum of 25 points. The lower limit to define an individual with extreme anxiety is 19 points and to define the presence of anxiety the score must be higher than 10 points. MDAS will be assessed in 2 stages: 1. At the initial consultation (baseline) 2. Immediately before the procedure and administration of the local anaesthetic solution |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in blood pressure | Through study completion, an average of 5 weeks | Changes in Blood pressure (Systolic and dyastolic) measured in mmHg Blood pressure will be assessed in 5 stages: 1. At the initial consultation (baseline) 2. Immediately before the procedure and administration of the local anaesthetic solution 3. Immediately after administration of the local anaesthetic solution 4. Immediately after the procedure is completed |
| Changes in Heart rate | Through study completion, an average of 5 weeks | Changes in heart rate measured in beats per minute Heart rate will be assessed in 5 stages: 1. At the initial consultation (baseline) 2. Immediately before the procedure and administration of the local anaesthetic solution 3. Immediately after administration of the local anaesthetic solution 4. Immediately after the procedure is completed |
| Changes in Oxygen saturation | Through study completion, an average of 5 weeks | Changes in oxygen saturation measured in percentage (%) Oxygen saturation will be assessed in 5 stages: 1. At the initial consultation (baseline) 2. Immediately before the procedure and administration of the local anaesthetic solution 3. Immediately after administration of the local anaesthetic solution 4. Immediately after the procedure is completed |
| Patient Satisfaction of procedure | 1 week after the procedure | A questionnaire will be provided to the participants that consists of 6 questions, 2 questions to know the degree of discomfort at the last visit (suture removal control post exodontia) with 4 possible answers: none, little, moderate, a lot; and 4 questions to determine the degree of satisfaction with all the dental treatment carried out with affirmative or negative answers |
