Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the oral surgery and dental anesthesia on anxiety in patients, by comparing two anxiety scales. The study designed to evaluate the effect of physical status, age and gender on anxiety and to compare anxiety and need for information. Methods: A total of 91 patients, categorized as ASA-I and ASA-II based on ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) scoring, were assessed utilizing the BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory) and APAIS (Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale) tests. The groups were compared by using the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (p <.05). Results: BAI, APAIS-A and APAIS-B values were significantly higher in ASA-II individuals compared to ASA-I. APAIS and BAI values were correlated with each other in the ASA-I group, while APAIS-B was not correlated with other values in the ASA-II group. Anxiety scores were higher in female patients. Age was inversely correlated with anxiety, while the need for information did not change. Conclusion: The APAIS may provide more detailed information to evaluate anxiety in the group with mild systemic disease. The need for information is higher in patients with chronic disease, regardless of their anxiety status.
