“…Furthermore, this study also observed that those participants with a positive history of past dental visit, especially those who experienced pain during the course of the treatment done for them in their past visit(s), formed the significant majority of those respondents who reported to have anxiety. The findings recorded in this study were found to be similar to the reports in the literatures (Akhigbe & Koleoso, 2014;Eroglu et al, 2017).…”

ObjectivesTo explore the associations between previous dental visits and dental anxiety among patients presenting at the dental and maxillofacial surgery clinic of Department of Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery, Federal Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria.Materials and methodsThis study was a cross-sectional study conducted among 172 patients. Study instrument was a 9-item structured questionnaire, which obtained information about the participants regarding their: demographic profile; previous dental experience; and dental anxiety status in a dental and maxillofacial surgery consulting room. Data collected were analyzed using the SPSS Version 20 Software. Associations between variables were evaluated using Chi-square statistics using a p < 0.05 to determine the level of statistical significance.ResultsRoughly, six-tenth (57.6%) of the participants were males. The observed prevalence of dental anxiety among the participants was 47.7%. A history of pain experience during past dental treatment as well as a history of past dental visit were found to have statistically significant relationships with participants’ dental anxiety status (p-values < 0.05). However, the frequency of previous dental visits, a history of past dental treatment, and a history of use of intraoral injections in the course of past dental treatment were found to have no statistically significant relationship with participants’ status of dental anxiety (p-values > 0.05). Finally, the prevalence of dental anxiety among the groups of female folks with “a history of previous visit to a dentist” and “a history of pain experience in the past dental treatment” were found to be significantly higher than that observed among similar groups among the male folks (p-values < 0.05).ConclusionPrevious experience of pain plays a major role of influence over dental anxiety experience among patients. Hence, dental practitioners need to pay more attention towards dental anxiety management among patients, especially women.

“…The issue of delayed presentation at the dental offi ce is a global health problem which needs to be seriously looked into [1,2]. This problem of delay in seeking proper oral healthcare had cost many people heavy losses, of which loss of life is not exclusion [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Hence, the need for early oral health intervention by dental professionals cannot be overemphasized.…”

“…In fact, many patients are forced to eventually visit a dental offi ce for treatment of their poor oral health conditions after all their attempts at getting remedy from 'alternative' forms of dental treatment proved futile [1,2]. The issue of delay in seeking proper dental treatment is a global health problem and scientifi c research had shown that many factors are responsible for delay in seeking early intervention on oral health-related problems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Some of these factors include limited access to qualifi ed dental In the course of comparing the relationship between the age distribution of the surveyed patients with the reasons they gave for delayed presentation at our clinic, we found that "dental anxiety", "busy work schedule", "preference for traditional treatment option", and "delay in hospital environment" were the reasons given by patients within the age of "16 -20 years", "21 -50 and 56 -60 years", "51 -55 years", and ">60 years" respectively.…”

Background: It is a very sad experience, as a clinician, to see a patient presenting very late at a dental offi ce with complicated oral health-related problems when the initial causal problem is very cheap, easy, and simple to treat. This study aims to determine the factors causing delay in seeking dental treatment among the patients visiting the dental clinic of the Fedearal Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, Nigeria. Methodology: This study was questionnaire-based survey of 172 non-paediatric patients attending the dental clinic of the Federal Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria. Data was obtained on their socio-demographic characteristics and the reasons behind their late presentation. Data analysis was done using the SPSS Version 20 Software. Results: Most of the participating patients were males (57.6%), Muslims (73.8%) and of age 16 -35 years (65.1%). Also, 66.9% of them were from the Hausa tribe, 62.8% were married, and 40.1% had polytechnic/university education. The reasons indicated by the respondents for their delay in seeking early oral healthcare services at our dental clinic were diverse. However, the three most commonly given reason were: busy work schedules, dental anxiety, and preference for traditional treatment options. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of delayed presentation among patients visiting the dental clinic of the Federal Medical Centre situated in the Birnin Kebbi metropolis. This study also identifi ed the reasons for such delays. This study also corroborates other studies in ascertaining that delayed dental visit is a public health and clinical problem in the Nigerian setting. Hence, there is an imminent need to ensure that the public are educated on oral health issues.

“…This study was carried out on 96-healthy individuals, aged between 20-75 years, who underwent dental implant therapy in Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Faculty of Dentistry, Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Periodontology and whose healing caps will be placed after second stage implant surgery. The findings of Eroglu, Ataoglu, Kucuk (14) were used to determine the sample size. According to this, it was calculated that 36 patients each should be included in the experimental and control groups in order to determine a 50% decrease in dental anxiety levels (β: 0.8, α:0.05).…”

Oral surgical procedures cause high-pain expectation and consequent anxiety in patients. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Er, Cr: YSGG laser and scalpel method on dental anxiety level during second-stage implant surgery. 96 patients with 304 osseointegrated implants were divided into two groups. Implants embedded under the oral mucosa were exposed with scalpel or laser surgery. Before the operation the patients were asked to fill the STAI and DAS while resting in the waiting room. In addition, postoperative daily analgesic use, VAS scores perioperativly and on the postoperative 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd days and demographic information such as age and gender were also recorded. There was no statistically significant relationship between surgical m ethod and anxiety levels (p>0.05. Also, the differences between the scalpel and laser groups in terms of total DAS and STAI scores were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). But statistically significant difference was found between surgical method and the analgesic consumption (p<0.05). A higher rate of analgesic consumption was observed in the scalpel group. The use of Er,Cr;YSGG laser could reduce pain during minor oral surgical procedures but had no significant effect on dental anxiety. Different modalities that could provide additional benefits in overcoming this situation should be investigated.
