Tytuł: The correlation between situational factors influencing dental anxiety level and dental health status in adult patients
Abstrakt:
INTRODUCTION: Dental treatment and surrounding dental environment may elicit many different cognitions and emotions among patients. The proportion of individuals in an adult population reporting anxiety and discomfort in relation to dental treatment has remained approximately on the same level for the past decades in the countries of industrialized world. Most probable explanation to the origin of dental fear in most cases is a multifactoral etiological model where both cognitive and conditioned elements are operative in the development of dental fear or phobia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 138 patients referred to the principal investigation for periodontal therapy were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire before the investigation. It contained questions based on The Stait-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Dental Anxiety Scale, the Dental Hygiene Fears Survey and also questions regarding age, gender and education. Patients were interviewed regarding the past dental experience and history. The investigation included the assessment of oral health status (Sulcus Bleeding Index, Approximal Plaque Index, DMF Index). RESULTS: Patients with high anxiety level had more missing and decayed teeth, worse periodontal status as well as worse oral hygiene. Dental anxiety level was higher among women, patients with lower education level and was increasing with patient’s age. Dental anxiety level co ; rrelated positively with general anxiety level and bad dental care experience in childhood. CONCLUSIONS: Situational factors and general anxiety influence dental anxiety level. High anxiety level influences oral health.
