Scales application one week before and one week after impacted tooth extraction.
The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of dentist-patient communication via social media on dental anxiety, and second, to evaluate the appropriate timing of such communications.
Instagram's quick replies system was used to answer patients' questions to alleviate dental anxiety for patients undergoing impacted mandibular third-molar extraction under local anesthesia. Patients were assigned randomly into four groups according to timing of such communications: Communication before operation (n=36), Communication after operation (n=35), Communication before and after operation (n=36), and a control group who received no communication on social media (n=36). Dental anxiety was evaluated one week before and after the surgical operation using recognized assessment scales-the Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Modified Dental Anxiety Scale and a visual analog scale.

| Assessment scales-the Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Modified Dental Anxiety Scale and a visual analog scale. | Behavioral | STAI-S, like kinetic energy, refers to a palpable reaction or process taking place at a given time and level of intensity. STAI-T, like potential energy, refers to individual differences in reactions. Both of STAI-S and STAI-T scales includes 20 questions. For each question, the scores range from 1 (almost never) to 4 (almost always) points. For both scales, the sum of the scores ranges from 20 to 80. A score between 36 and 41 refers to a mean anxiety level, with values greater than 41 classified as a high level of anxiety. The MDAS consists of 5 questions that measure anxiety at different stages of dental treatment. The options range from 1 (not anxious) to 5 (very anxious) for each question. The sum of the scores varies from 5 to 25; values between 19 and 25 indicate a high level of dental anxiety. The VAS scale was included in the present study to determine how anxious the patients felt according to their own thoughts. Scores range from 0 (no anxiety) to 10 (extreme anxiety). |
