Materials And Methods: Forty-two patients were undergoing major surgery and 42 age- and sex-matched patients undergoing dental extraction were included and their salivary cortisol levels were analyzed before and after the dental procedure.
Results: Results showed that there is a significant increase in the mean salivary cortisol concentration after extraction (23.
