Independent predictors of satisfaction in impacted third molar surgery patients

Abstract

This study demonstrates that the patients who undergo ITM surgery often have severe anxiety that seriously impacts patient satisfaction and resultant treatment outcomes. In addition, patient satisfaction directly depends on the occurrence of some postoperative complications. Appreciation of these predictive factors and increasing patient satisfaction may help clinicians to provide optimal care for ITM surgery patients.

Gömülü Yirmi Yaş Dişi Çekimi Endikasyonu Konulmuş Hastalarda Operasyonun Hemen ya da Gecikmeli Yapılmasının Dental Anksiyete ve Dental Korku Üzerine Etkisinin Değerlendirilmesi

“…Ayrıca diş çekimi öncesi yapılan enjeksiyon işlemi de literatürde en çok anksiyete yaratan durumlardan biri olarak rapor edilmektedir (4,13). Diş çekimine bağlı oluşan anksiyete ve korkuyu etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesine yönelik pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Fakat literatürde diş çekimi işleminin hemen ya da randevulu yapılmasının dental anksiyete ve korku üzerine etkinliğinin değerlendirildiği çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır.…”

Quality of analgesia after lower third molar surgery: A randomised, double-blind study of levobupivacaine, bupivacaine and lidocaine with epinephrine

“…These findings suggest that anaesthetic blocks should last until inputs from peripheral surgical sites drop below the level that can maintain central sensitisation, especially in the hours immediately following lower third molar extraction. Moreover, the quality of life after oral surgical interventions can have a major impact on a patient's future perception of pain and preoperative anxiety 31 . Our results show that the analgesic efficacy of long-acting local anaesthetics is seen up to 48 hours postoperatively, long after local anaesthetic action has finished.…”

Relationship between post-extraction pain and acute pulpitis: a randomised trial using third molars

“…They require information about the expected postoperative outcomes, including the postoperative quality of life and duration of disability. Pain sensation has a significant influence on patient satisfaction following third molar extraction. Therefore, the present study was designed to estimate the influence of acute pulpitis on the post‐extraction pain of third molars after direct extraction.…”
