Summary
This study tested whether watching a video about the surgery before having a wisdom tooth removed helps lower anxiety compared to just hearing a verbal explanation. 73 adults scheduled for impacted wisdom tooth extraction were randomly assigned to either a video or verbal information group. Researchers measured anxiety levels and vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure at several points during the procedure.
