Objectives: Dental anxiety is thought to be a significant barrier to successful treatment completion. Dental procedures are more likely to be difficult, if not impossible, for dentists to accomplish when patients with dental anxiety are more prone to be uncooperative. The essential oils used frequently in aromatherapy come from a variety of sources, including lemon, chamomile, lavender, orange, apple, cedarwood, and bergamot. Applications for aromatherapy include massage, topical products, inhalation, and complementary medicine. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of aromatherapy on dental anxiety among patients undergoing dental extractions. Materials and Methods: This study was a randomized control trial of all cases that were advised for simple extraction in the oral surgery clinic between May 2021 and May 2022. Sample size was chosen to be 100 randomly, they were divided into group A and B. Group A underwent aromatherapy, Group B did not undergo aromatherapy, they were given a set of questions from DASS scale to assess their stress levels before and after aromatherapy with Group A being population with aromatherapy effective and Group B being population ineffective of aromatherapy before undergoing extraction. All the case notes in the department were retrieved and reviewed. Information extracted from the case notes included age, sex, medical history, clinical findings and treatment received. The data was analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results: In our study, we found that there was a statistical significance between gender and reduced stress on aromatherapy prior to extraction (p<0.05). No statistical significance was noted between age and reduced stress on aromatherapy prior to extraction. Female patients between 30 - 60 years of age were more prevalent with reduced stress on aromatherapy prior to extraction. Conclusion: Within the limits of this study, we concluded that aromatherapy prior to extraction was helpful in reducing stress to some extent, especially in female patients. Further studies on a larger scale are required to find possible associations that would help determine clinical outcomes and to identify the science behind or placebo effect behind aromatherapy to reduce stress.
