---

128 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

Green Light Exposure Group

Experimental group

Description:

When patients enter the clinic, toss a coin to determine which group they will belong to. Before the patient puts on the green glasses, the anxiety level is measured with the help of VAS. Then the patient is seated in the dental unit and green glasses will be put on. After 10 minutes the anxiety level will be measured again with the help of VAS. The level of pain felt during surgery was determined by VAS. All operations will be performed by a single experienced surgeon. Since the patients enter the clinic, their heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure will be measured continuously.

Treatment:

Other: Green light exposure

Control Group

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

When patients enter the clinic, toss a coin to determine which group they will belong to. Before the patient puts on transparent glasses, the anxiety level is measured with the help of VAS. Then the patient is seated in the dental unit and transparent glasses will be put on. After 10 minutes the anxiety level will be measured again with the help of VAS. The level of pain felt during surgery was determined by VAS. All operations will be performed by a single experienced surgeon. Since the patients enter the clinic, their heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure will be measured continuously.
