Pre-operative Anxiety and Its Management in Dentistry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Psychiatry is intimately related to surgery in general and dentistry in particular because of the varied psychological reactions of patients undergoing various surgical procedures (Abrams, 1975 and Lafer, 1975). Janis (1959) referred to the role of pre-operative anxiety and its effects on the post-operartive course. Abrams and Gill (1961) noted that excessive pre-operative anxiety and unrealistic expectations were prognostications of post-operative psychiatric complications. Many a time the problems arise because of apprehensions about the procedure due to insufficient preparation of the patient.
