Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate salivary cortisol levels in patients undergoing third molar removal under local and general anaesthesia. DESIGN: Random sampling of two independent groups. METHODS: Samples of saliva were collected from patients prior to and after surgery for the removal of impacted wisdom teeth. The samples were analysed to assess cortisol levels. Patients were also asked to complete a Hospital Anxiety and Depression questionnaire on the day of surgery. RESULTS:Patients receiving treatment underlocal anaesthesia showed lower levels of stress response than those having treatment under general anaesthesia on the actual day of surgery did (Fig. 1). No other significant differences were noted. CONCLUSION:Local anaesthesia is the preferred mode of pain control for patients who express no strong preference for type of anaesthetic.
