ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether different colored lights can help reduce anxiety and pain during dental procedures, specifically tooth extractions. Participants will wear colored glasses before their operation to see if this helps them feel more relaxed and comfortable. The researchers want to understand how these colors affect feelings of anxiety and pain during the procedure.

To take part in this study, you need to be between the ages of 18 and 75 and have a certain level of health (classified as ASA 1 or ASA 2, which means you are generally healthy or have mild health issues). You also should not have had a wisdom tooth surgery before and must be willing to participate in the study. However, if you have a strong fear of dental procedures, will be put under general anesthesia, or have any complications during surgery, you won't be eligible. If you join, you can expect to wear colored glasses and answer some questions about your anxiety and pain during the tooth extraction.
