Since anxiety is a form of psychological stress, an increase in anxiety results in a surge in stress levels. The role of sedation in dental surgery cannot be overemphasised. The reduction in pain and anxiety eventually causes better cooperation and patients' satisfaction. Therefore, balancing anxiety and/or stress levels in patients would be useful to ensure patient safety during treatment.Therefore, the aim of this pioneer study was to evaluate the efficacy (heart rate value, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, cortisol levels, BIS monitoring, patients' anxiety) of Mindfulness Meditation as a sedative technique during dental implant surgery.
