Brief Summary: Tooth extraction is one of the most common surgical procedures in dentistry Up to 15 of the worlds adult population suffers from high anxiety about dental treatments The stress resulting from this anxiety may cause a delay in the healing and fusion of the surgical wound Therefore it is possible to perform this surgical tooth extraction procedure under general anesthesia

The purpose of the present study is to assess the level of anxietyfear and to monitor the wound healing process among patients who are about to undergo surgery to remove wisdom teeth or no more than 3 jaw implants under local anesthesia in the dental clinic compared to patients who are about to undergo the same surgery under general anesthesia

The various measurements of the study will include

Level of free cortisol hormone in salivaThe levels of this hormone are correlated to the level of fear

The level of fear of pain will be measured using the Fear of Pain Questionnaire - FPQ-III

The level of fear of dental pain will be measured using the short version of the fear of dental pain questionnaire - FDPQ

Level of dental anxiety - will be measured using by the dental anxiety scale of The DAS Corah

To monitor the inflammation and wound healing the inflammatory proliferation scale IPR will be used to monitor the wound healing process

The study includes 5 visits

Visit 1 5-7 days before surgery - in the waiting room of the dental clinic The patients will sign an informed consent form fill out questionnaires and a saliva test will be taken from them A clinical assessment will be conducted by the surgeon

Visit 2 on the day of surgery in the waiting room of the dental clinic or the operating room depending on the type of anesthesia planned The patients will fill out questionnaires and a saliva sample will be taken from them

Visit 3 5 days after the surgery - in the waiting room of the dental clinic The patients will fill out questionnaires and a saliva sample will be taken from them The surgeon will report complications and complete the IPR

Visit 4 14 days after surgery The surgeon will complete the IPR

Visit 5 6 weeks after surgery The surgeon will complete the IPR
