One group of 15 individuals underwent surgery in hospital, under general anesthesia. The other 15 were treated in the post-graduation clinic at the School of Dentistry, under local anesthesia and sedation.ResultsFrom the emotional point of view, the Wilcoxon test revealed that irrespective of the anesthesia procedure used, at the beginning of treatment, the emotional condition of individuals differed from that verified after conclusion of the treatment (p < 0.0001).ConclusionThere was no difference between the two groups as regards the anesthetic procedure.
