A lower score means better results.	1 minute after the participant sits the dental unit and 10 minutes after
Secondary	Change in the oxygen saturation	Saturation measurement is done from the fingertip using a pulse oximeter one minute after the patient sits in the dental unit and after ten minutes. Changes in the scores are the secondary outcome of the study. The average value is above %90.	1 minute after the participant sits the dental unit and 10 minutes after
Secondary	Change in the pulsation	Pulsation was measured from the fingertip by a pulse oximeter one minute after the patient sat in the dental unit and after ten minutes. Changes in the scores are the secondary outcome of the study. The average value is between 65 and 75.	1 minute after the participant sits the dental unit and 10 minutes after
