Abstract

Dental anxiety is a problem which is encountered frequently in dental practice. Factors such as preceding experiences, sexuality, education, personality, and patient-physician communication determine the level of the anxiety. As the pain increases the anxiety, it can be occured and increased by the anxiety during the dental procedures. The anxiolytics, sedatives, informing about the procedure and arranging the behaviours can be advantageous in the oral surgery procedure. In addition, not to have patients wait long in the waiting room, performing the procedure quickly, and to establish a dialogue with the patient are important. There are a lot of scales to measure the dental anxiety. The most used scales are Corah Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS), Spielberg Continuity Intellect Anxiety Scale (STAI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Continual and intellect anxiety conditions of the patients can cause different outcomes in these measurements. it is a contemporary and ethical approach to inform the patients about the procedure before the operation. Furthermore, it can be efficacious to inform the patient and apply psychological therapy to decrease the dental anxiety.

Özet

Dental anksiyete, diş hekimliği pratiğinde en sık karşılaşılan problemlerden biridir. Hastaların daha önceki tecrübeleri, cinsiyet, eğitim seviyesi, kişilik özellikleri ve hasta-hekim ilişkisi gibi faktörler korku seviyesini belirler. Dental iş/emler sırasında duyulan ağrı, anksiyeteyi artırabildiği gibi anksiyete de ağrı duyusunu ortaya çıkartabilir veya şiddetini artırabilir. Ağız cerrahisi işlemlerinde anksiyetenin önlenmesinde anksiyolitikler, sedatifler, davranışların yönlendirilmesi veya önceden bilgi verme gibi yöntemler yararlı olabilmektedir. Bunun yanında hastanın bekleme odasında uzun süre bekletilmemesi, işlemlerin mümkün olduğunca kısa tutulması, hastalarla diyalog kurmak da önemlidir. Anksiyete düzeylerini ölçmekte kullanılan pek çok skata mevcuttur. Bunlar arasında en sık kullanılanları Corah Dental Anksiyete Skalası (DAS). Spielberg Süreklilik-Anlık Anksiyete Skalası (STAI) ve Görsel Analog Skalası (VAS)'tır. Hastaların durumluluk ve anlık anksiyete durumları ise bu ölçümlerde farklı sonuçlar çıkmasına sebep olabilmektedir. Hastaların tedavi öncesi kendilerine uygulanacak işlemler hakkında bilgilendirilmesi hasta-hekim ilişkisinde çağdaş ve elik bir yaklaşımdır. Ayrıca bilgilendirme ile psikolojik tedavi yaklaşımlarının birlikte uygulanması, dental anksiyetenin kontrolü ve azaltılmasında etkili olabilir.
