ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different ways of providing information can affect patients' anxiety during dental procedures, specifically when having impacted molars removed under anesthesia. The researchers want to find out if giving patients various types of information can help reduce their stress and if understanding the risks associated with the procedure plays a role in their anxiety levels.

To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be between 18 and 40 years old and scheduled for a moderately difficult molar extraction. They should not have any significant health issues, take regular medications, or have previous experience with sedation or general anesthesia. During the study, participants will receive different types of information about their procedure, and researchers will assess how this affects their feelings of anxiety. This study is important because it aims to find the best ways to help patients feel more comfortable during dental treatments.
