Conditions

  • Dental Anxiety
  • Timing in Dentist-Patient Communication

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Assessment scales-the Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Modified Dental Anxiety Scale and a visual analog scale.

STAI-S, like kinetic energy, refers to a palpable reaction or process taking place at a given time and level of intensity. STAI-T, like potential energy, refers to individual differences in reactions. Both of STAI-S and STAI-T scales includes 20 questions. For each question, the scores range from 1 (almost never) to 4 (almost always) points. For both scales, the sum of the scores ranges from 20 to 80. A score between 36 and 41 refers to a mean anxiety level, with values greater than 41 classified as a high level of anxiety. The MDAS consists of 5 questions that measure anxiety at different stages of dental treatment. The options range from 1 (not anxious) to 5 (very anxious) for each question. The sum of the scores varies from 5 to 25; values between 19 and 25 indicate a high level of dental anxiety. The VAS scale was included in the present study to determine how anxious the patients felt according to their own thoughts. Scores range from 0 (no anxiety) to 10 (extreme anxiety).
