The Effect of Conscious Sedation on Acute Stress

The first specimen of saliva was taken at the first time patient came to clinic (t1). Saliva was allowed to flow in the floor of mouth an 1 ml was then collected using a Pasteur pipette. First day after examination, patient was given an appointment. The second time of the saliva was taken was when the patient sat in the chair for extraction (t2). The other times of saliva samples were taken were before local anesthesia (t3), immediately after extraction (t4) and at 4 h after extraction (t5). Due to the localization and position of the third molar, osteotomy was performed using a 20,000-rpm hand piece under irrigation for all patients. Some cases required tooth sectioning. 3-0 silk suture was used at the end of the surgery.
