Assessment of pre and postoperative anxiety in patients undergoing ambulatory oral surgery in primary care.

CONCLUSIONS: AOS in a PHC is safe and should be more encouraged in the public primary care. The emotional impact on users was relatively low, highlighting that the preoperative anxiety levels were higher than the postoperative ones. Psychological factors related to pre- and postoperative anxiety should be considered in the AOS carried out in PC. PMID: 29053655 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
