Article Synopsis
- The review analyzes the effectiveness of zinc oxide-based materials versus glass-ionomer cement as temporary fillings during endodontic treatment, focusing on their sealing properties in extracted teeth.
- Seven clinical trials were examined, revealing variability in sealing ability, with glass-ionomer cement performing better for single-rooted teeth, while zinc oxide materials also showed good results.
- Although zinc oxide materials have advantages such as consistent application, concerns about dye penetration tests not fully capturing bacterial leakage risk highlight the need for more clinical research.
Anxiety in the perioperative period has significant impact on both the flow of surgery and the post-operative recovery process. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to determine the prevalence of preoperative anxiety among adult patients undergoing elective surgical procedures at a tertiary teaching hospital and the effect of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines on preoperative anxiety. We used the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) to assess patients’ anxiety toward surgery and their need for more information.
