Purpose:
To Introduce health education pathway to patients with removal impacted teeth, with the aim of helping patients to reduce tension or anxiety and improve the level of patients' satisfaction and cognition for dental surgery.
Methods:
One hundred patients with impacted teeth surgery were randomly allocated into the experimental group and the control group. Health education pathway was given to patients in the experimental group while patients in the control group received traditional health education before surgery. The Hamilton-Anxiety Scale(HAMA) was applied to evaluate the anxiety of patients before and after treatment. A self-designed questionnaire survey was conducted among patients to evaluate the level of their satisfaction and cognition of dental surgery.
Results:
Before the experiment, no significant difference in HAMA score was found between the two groups. After health education conducted, the score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.01), meanwhile the rate of satisfaction and the level of cognition in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01).
Conclusions:
Establishing and conducting the health education pathway on patients with impacted teeth removal can reduce their tension or anxiety, thus improving the quality of clinical service.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
