title: Systemic Trans- and Postoperative Evaluations of Patients Undergoing Dental Implant Surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aims of this study were to examine the trans- and postoperative systemic characteristics of patients undergoing dental implant surgery and to investigate the relationship between pre- and post- surgery anxiety levels.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-nine patients were analyzed in 3 call centers to determine anxiety levels, pain levels, and preoperative and postoperative histories using the State-Trait (STAI) questionnaire.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 93 dental implants were installed, with a success rate of 100%. The most frequently reported systemic disease was hypertension. There was a significantly higher rate of effective clamping (torque) to the mandibular bone than to the maxillary bone. The association between postoperative surgical complications and longer operative time was not significant, but there was a significant correlation between the alteration of mouth opening and daily routine activities and a significant decrease in anxiety levels between the day of surgery and the postoperative time point (p =0.006).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A longer surgical time was associated with surgery-related complications and with a higher anxiety index on the preoperative evaluation.
