| description | Objectives The aim of this
study is to compare perception and anxiety levels of patients who are received
different anesthesia and instruments prior to periodontal treatment.Material
and MethodsThe study performed in the Periodontology Department
of Pamukkale University’s Faculty of Dentistry (October 2017 - February 2018)
and was designed as a case control study. 60 periodontitis patients were
divided into 6 groups: 1-Local piezo,
2-Topical piezo, 3- Piezo, 4-Local hand instrument, 5-Topical hand instrument,
6- Hand instrument. Topical groups were received xylocain spray, local groups
were received jetocain ampoule. Patients were asked to fill dental anxiety
scale (DAS) scale before the treatment
and 10th day. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was filled out on the
day of treatment, on the second day and on the 10th day following
treatment. Clinical measurements were taken on the treatment day and on the 30th
day.ResultsThere
was a significant decrease in clinical measurements in all groups. Local
anesthesia groups revealed lower VAS pain values (p<00.5) compared to other
groups on the day of the procedure. Topical anesthesia groups revealed lower
VAS pain values as compared to the piezo and hand instrument groups,
respectively (p>00.5). The
ultrasonic groups exhibited lower DAS scores than the hand instrument groups
(p>00.5).ConclusionLocal anesthesia provided better patients cooperation
and VAS pain scores, but did not yield good speech and chewing scores. Topical
anesthesia and piezo may be more useful to patients with dental anxiety. |
