The Effectiveness of Relaxation E-Booklet Media to Reduce Anxiety in Molar Tooth Extraction Patients with Pulp Gangrene without Mobility

The results of the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) showed that the prevalence of dental and oral health problems in Indonesia reached 56.9% in the population aged 3 years and above. There are 43% of new patients coming to the dentist if they have dental problems, most of whom said that the reason was because they were afraid to go to the dentist, resulting in dental anxiety. The use of Relaxation E-Booklet media is needed to increase knowledge about how to reduce anxiety before the process or during the tooth extraction process. To produce a relaxation e-booklet media that is appropriate and effective in reducing the level of anxiety in patients with non-moveable pulp gangrene molar tooth extraction. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method. The R&D method and steps are then continued with a quantitative approach using the Quasi Experimental Pretest-Postest design. The sample consisted of 45 patients with non-moveable molar tooth extraction. Expert validation shows a validity test value with the Aiken's V approach of 1.00. The E-Booklet relaxation model was effective and feasible in reducing anxiety levels in patients undergoing non-motile tooth extraction, as indicated by a p-value of 0.000. The reduction in anxiety levels in tooth extraction patients was demonstrated from a pre-test score of 24.71 to a post-test score of 17.26. The E-Booklet relaxation model is effective and feasible in reducing anxiety levels in patients undergoing non-motile molar tooth extraction.
