“…Often, in the literature, studies relate dental anxiety to gender (Garip, Abalı, Göker, Göktürk, & Garip, 2004;Hu et al, 2007;Kanegane, Penha, Borsatti, & Rocha, 2003;Malvania & Ajithkrishnan, 2011;Muglali & Komerik, 2008;Quteish Taani, 2002;Rosa & Ferreira, 1997;Schuller, Willumsen, & Holst, 2003;Settineri, Tati, & Fanara, 2005;Singh, de Moraes, & Ambrosano, 2000;Udoye et al, 2005), age (Malvania & Ajithkrishnan, 2011;Thomson, Stewart, Carter, & Spencer, 1996;Yuan et al, 2008) and educational levels (Chaves et al, 2006;Malvania & Ajithkrishnan, 2011;Maniglia-Ferreira et al, 2004;Rosa & Ferreira, 1997), however, in this study's sample these characteristics were not good predictors of dental anxiety (Figure 1). Thus, other variables should be considered in the model and, for that, exploratory studies should be initially performed, in order to identify the specific social and/or behavioural characteristics that may be related to the theoretical construct of anxiety.…”

Aim: To estimate the reliability and validity of the Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) and identify the prevalence and the effect of the socio-demographic characteristics of dental anxiety, in a sample of 212 adults. Methods: The psychometric sensitivity of the scale was assessed. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and the convergent validity and internal consistency were determined. The prevalence of anxiety was estimated, and the effect of socio-demographic variables on anxiety was assessed using structural equation modelling. Results: The participants' mean age was 33.5 (SD = 15.6) years, and 62.3% were female. There was an adequate factorial adjustment of the scale in this sample. The convergent validity and internal consistency were adequate in the one-factor model. Regarding two-factor model, there was a high correlation (r) among the factors, which jeopardized the discriminant validity. A total of 47.6% of the participants (IC 95% = 40.9 -54.4) presented low levels of anxiety, 32.5% (IC 95% = 26.2 -38.9) moderate levels, and 12.3% (IC 95% = 7.8 -16.7) exacerbated levels. There was a non-significant effect of gender, age and education on the anxiety levels of this sample. Conclusion: We concluded that the one-factor model presented better psychometric qualities, that anxiety was highly prevalent and there was no significant effect of the demographic variables on anxiety, in this sample.

“…[23][24][25] Postoperatively, factors that may influence anxiety include pain, complaints of the urinary system that disrupt patient comfort, the possibility of additional procedures, and desire of patients to recover quickly. [25][26][27] Similar to bronchoscopy, colonoscopy, colposcopy, and other endoscopic procedures, cystoscopic procedure may induce pain and anxiety. [28][29][30][31] In addition, although DJ stenting performed with cystoscopy is mostly safe, its potential complications, development of urinary complaints, and requirement of stent removal may create anxiety.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success rate of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) and possible effects on the anxiety status of patients.Methods: Anxiety status of 128 patients was evaluated using State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scale. Three groups were created depending on stone condition: Group 1, completely stone-free; Group 2, asymptomatic residual fragments; and Group 3, fragments requiring additional procedures. Anxiety was evaluated comparatively according to analgesic need and emergency department referrals. Results:Mean score in all 3 groups 1 month after treatment showed significant decrease; however, this decrease was smaller in Group 3 than the other 2 groups. Pairwise evaluation of mean STAI scores revealed significant difference between Group 3 and other groups. Similarly, analgesic need and emergency department referral rate were higher in Group 3. Conclusion:Residual fragments after SWL procedure may affect the anxiety status of the treated patients due to both symptoms they experience and need for additional procedures. We believe that detailed information should be provided to patients with respect to procedure, possible complications, and potential need for additional treatment.

“…The average systolic and diastolic BP had higher peaks at the end of the surgery, regardless of the treatment setting. This effect may be attributed to the fact that the patients were beginning to feel pain and were tired, and this could be related to an increase in anxiety and hemodynamic changes 2,6,[12][13] . These findings are partially consistent with the results of Beck and Weaver 9 (1981), who did not report variations in BP during some phases of dental treatment, but reported an increase in BP at more stressful moments (i.e., during the surgical procedure and use of the dental implant motor) in the same way as in the present study.…”

“…Anxiety is a phenomenon characterized by subjective feelings of tension, apprehension, nervousness and preoccupation that may be experienced when an individual contacts an aggressor, such as dental surgery [1][2][3][4] . Anxiety is a consciously perceived emotional reaction that intensifies the activity of the autonomic nervous system.…”

Anxiety is often observed in dental procedures and may cause promote alteration in the physiological responses during implant surgeries. Aim: To evaluate changes in blood pressure and heart rate in patients undergoing dental implant procedures, considering the dental setting as the main variable. Methods: Fifty-five patients who underwent dental implant surgery were evaluated. Thirty-seven were treated at a university clinic and 18 were treated at a private office. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured at the following time-points: at the appointment prior to surgery (T0), immediately before the surgical procedure (T1), during anesthesia (T2), during implant installation (T3), immediately after the surgical procedure (T4) and at the first follow-up appointment after surgery (T5). The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Student's t-test. Results: The university clinic patients had an increase in heart rate at T5 (t 53 =2.62, p<0.05) compared with private office patients. Systolic blood pressure in university clinic patients was higher at T2 (t 53 =2.86, p<0.01), T3 (t 53 =2.64, p<0.05), and T4 (t 53 =3.15, p<0.01). Diastolic blood pressure at T2 (t 53 =3.15, p<0.01) and T3 (t 53 =3.86, p<0.01) were also higher in university clinic patients. Conclusions: These results suggest that the dental setting is a relevant factor when planning dental implant surgery.
