Abstract

Background: Dental anxiety is one of the most common global obstacles to dental care, especially for patients requiring oral surgery. Lavender essential oil is one of the most effective essential oils in reducing anxiety disorders and sedation. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of aromatherapy on dental anxiety, blood pressure and heart rate in patients during surgical removal of mandibular third molar. Materials and method: Randomized controlled clinical application on 30 patients, divided into 2 groups: group with aromatherapy (15 patients) and group without aromatherapy (15 patients). 60 saliva samples with parameters of blood pressure, heart rate, dental anxiety scale and the concentration of salivary cortisol of patients were collected before, during and after wisdom tooth removal surgery. Results: Salivary cortisol levels of the lavender oil group after surgery were not different from the salivary cortisol levels before surgery, the salivary cortisol levels of the control group after surgery increased compared to the salivary cortisol level before surgery. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure after anesthesia of lavender oil group were lower than the control group by 5.37 mmHg and 4.94 mmHg, respectively. The average pulse rate at the time before and after anesthesia of the lavender oil group was lower than the control group by 5.95 bpm and 7.76 bpm, respectively. Conclusion: Aromatherapy during third molar surgery has initially shown the ability to reduce dental anxiety and control blood pressure and heart rate for patients.
