ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this article was to study the influence of anxiety (both state and trait) in postoperative recovery after extraction of third molar together, to establish the role of each of the aspects of anxiety in the results you obtained in an independent and complementary way. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed a prospective study of a consecutive series of 88 patients who underwent lower third molar extractions. Before being provided with any information about the operation, patients were asked to complete the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait and State. We have evaluated postoperative swelling and pain, patients completed a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) at home each day (at approximately the same time of day as the operation) until day 8 after surgery, when the sutures were removed. RESULTS: Regarding postoperative variables between positive and negative trait anxiety groups, consumption of analgesic drugs was higher in positive trait anxiety group in a statistically significant way, while these differences were detected only on specific occasions regarding pain and swelling. DISCUSSION: In the present study, anxiety was taken into account and showed a significant effect in explaining postoperative pain and taking analgesics

The aim of this study is to analyse the current situation in dental autotransplantations with in the different therapeutic alternatives that the dentist has available to replace a tooth in the dental arcade.For some authors this is an option headed for failure, whereas for others, it is an alternative to keep in mind. In thisstudy we analyse the factors related to the predictability of the technique, based on an analysis of research work published in the scientific literature up to date. We also present two clinical cases performed by our team and their subsequent evaluation.In spite of the satisfactory results seen when reviewing the existing literature, we cannot say that dental autotransplantationis currently the technique of choice when a tooth is lost, given the predictability of osteointegratedimplants (AU)
