Patients appreciation for information on anesthesia and anxiolysis in dentistry . AIM The research regards information on anesthesia to patients undergoing oral surgery . Every patient evaluated the information received at the end of the preoperative visit and in the postoperative period . METHODS One hundred-fifty dental patients were asked about the most appreciated information received in the preoperative visit on the anxiolytic technique , local anesthesia and treatment of the perioperative pain . Afterwards the patients had to report on their reaction to the content of the preoperative visit and information quality . On a phone interview they had to evaluate their appreciation of the anxiolytic technique , their perception during loco-regional anesthesia and incidence of pain and edema . RESULTS The most appreciated details were those on the intervention , pharmacologic treatment , postoperative complicances , postoperative pain and operative competence ; less appreciated were those on loco-regional anesthesia , duration of the intervention , anxiolytic techniques , hospital reception and permanence in the hospital . Ninety-eight percent of the patients considered to have been adequately informed on a context judged to be extraordinary ( 99.3 % ) , 96.6 % indicated the information as necessary , 98.6 % appreciated the treatment of the intraoperative and postoperative ( 99.3 % ) pain and 99.3 % the anxiolytic treatment . On the telephone interview , 100 % of patients expressed satisfaction for the experienced intraoperative tranquillity , 91.3 % complained for not having received in the past a similar preoperative visit , 99.3 % wished a diffused application of the information . The loco-regional anesthesia was associated to psychological detachment in 84 % of the cases and the incidence of postoperative pain was of 36 % . CONCLUSION The information on the anxiolytic techniques , loco-regional anesthesia , treatment of perioperative pain and postoperative distress was enthusiastically accepted and albeit initially induced feelings of astonishment resulted to be appreciated and preferred in the whole of the patients .
