“…This paper considers parent's perceptions of appearance and treatment outcomes in their 5-year-old child with cleft lip and palate Children born with a cleft lip and palate (CLP) undergo a number of procedures and surgical interventions during their first years of life, which are carried out to correct and improve oral function, speech, and facial appearance. Studies have quantified the burden of hospital care for children with CLP [2,3], and surgical treatment can be a frightening experience for a child [4]. Few, if any studies have, however, explored parents' perceptions of how their child cope with cleft surgery and treatment-related stress, while also comparing this information with registered postsurgical complications and surgical technique.…”

Results:The results indicated that the majority of parents were satisfied with cleft-related features of their child's appearance. Further, most children coped well with treatment according to their parents. Nevertheless, 17.5% of the children showed minor or short-term reactions after treatment experiences, and 2% had major or lasting difficulties. There were no significant relationships between parent perceptions of treatment-related problems and the occurrence of post-surgical medical complications. Conclusions:Most parents reported satisfaction with their child's appearance. However, treatment-related problems were described in some children, urging cleft centres to be aware of potential negative emotional and behavioural reactions to treatment in some young children, with a view to preventing the development of more severe treatment-related anxiety.

“…This procedure is usually associated with a high level of dental anxiety and discomfort for patients. [1][2][3] Improving treatment, increasing patient comfort, minimizing perioperative risks, and implementing anxiety-reducing procedures during surgery are very critical. 4 Maneuvers like a calm clinical environment, confident surgeon and their team, administering preoperative anxiolytics, providing preemptive analgesia, and providing knowledge about the procedure give satisfactory results.…”

Purpose: Dental patients feel anxious before most dental treatments presuming that the procedure will cause pain and discomfort. Extraction in oral surgery has been reported to induce highest level of anxiety among other procedures. The surgical removal of mandibular and maxillary third molars is the most commonly performed dentoalveolar procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Individuals who lack knowledge about the procedure are the ones who have preoperative anxiety. Materials and methods:Preoperative information about the procedure significantly reduces patients' anxiety. In this study, several preoperative variables were recorded (during preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases) and patients' anxiety regarding third molar extraction was assessed through the use of questionnaire. Results:The sample was composed of 100 patients (50 female patients and 50 male patients) divided into two groups. The first had some previous experience with extractions (50 patients) and the second had no experience (50 patients). The most frequent questions regarded the number of teeth to be extracted, and the most prevalent misconception was about medications before surgery. Patients with a previous history of dental extractions had more questions about use of medication before surgery. Patients without previous experience with extraction had more concerns about local anesthesia techniques. Conclusion:Patients with a history of tooth extraction and those without it presented variation of knowledge about third molar surgery. Both groups of patients needed detailed perioperative instructions about the procedure. These results may provide oral and maxillofacial surgeons with useful information about patients' knowledge throughout the surgical process.

“…Anksiyete, yaklaşan bir tehdit veya tehlike durumuna otonom sinir sisteminin aktivasyonuyla kaygı, stres, sinirlilik ve endişe gibi duygusal tepkiler verilen bir reaksiyondur (5). Dental anksiyete sık ve yaygın görülen bir durumdur ve Türk popülasyonunda dental anksiyete oranı %14,3 ile %23,5 arasında değişmektedir (6). Geçmişteki ağrılı, travmatik, olumsuz dental tedaviler hastalardaki mevcut anksiyetenin temel sebeplerinden biridir (7).…”
