Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Heart rate
Heart rate (beats per minute) will be measured using a pulse oximeter to assess physiological anxiety during dental treatment.
At Visit 1: Heart rate will be measured before the procedure, during the procedure, and immediately after the procedure At Visit 2: Heart rate will be measured before the procedure, during the procedure, and immediately after the procedure
Oxygen Saturation
Oxygen Saturation (SpO2, %) will be measured using a pulse oximeter to assess physiological changes associated with dental anxiety during dental treatment.
Oxygen Saturation will be measured At Visit 1: before the procedure, during the procedure, and immediately after the procedure. At Visit 2: before the procedure, during the procedure, and immediately after the procedure.
