    (Medicina Oral S L, 2024) Geckil, Nida
    Background: Achieving the best outcomes in surgical procedures requires optimizing all patient -related psychological and physiological factors. This study was carried out to evaluate the preoperative anxiety and fear levels, and postoperative symptoms in patients undergoing impacted third molar surgery, and to compare the relevant psychological and physical findings between genders and between women in different menstrual cycle phases. Material and Methods: The population of this prospective and clinical study consisted of patients who applied to faculty of dentistry for the extraction of impacted third molars. The menstrual cycles of the female patients included in the study ranged from 26 to 32 days. The female patients included in the study were divided into three groups according to the first day of the menstrual cycle and bleeding status. All patients were administered Spielberger State -Trait Anxiety Inventory Short Version (STAI-S), Dental Fear Survey (DFS), Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) preoperatively, and postoperative satisfaction and complication questionnaires. Results: The mean age of the 128 patients included in the study was 27.04 +/- 4.62 years. Of these patients, 79 (61.7%) were female and 49 (38.3%) were male. Female patients had significantly higher STAI-S, MDAS and DFS scores than male patients (94 vs. 53; 16 vs. 9; 58 vs. 27; p<0.001, respectively). In parallel, female patients had significantly higher complication rates, thus significantly lower satisfaction levels than male patients (116 vs. 51; 40 vs. 13; p<0.001, respectively). STAI-S, MDAS and DFS scores were high in women during the secretory phase (p<0.001). In the secretory phase, complications were high and satisfaction was low (p<0.001). Conclusions: The findings of the study reveal that women have a harder time getting through the operation process and that timing is important in reducing preoperative anxiety and fear levels and increasing postoperative satisfaction levels and complication rates.
